About the doctor
Urology deals with diseases of the urinary tract in both women and men and with the male reproductive system. Kidney and urinary-tract stones, urinary infections, prostate problems and urinary disorders are the most common reasons for referral.
Treatment ranges from medication and minimally invasive methods such as lithotripsy and endoscopy of the urinary tract to specialised surgery. Early diagnosis of prostate and kidney disease plays an important role in preserving health and quality of life.
