What is Urology
Urology is a branch of medicine that deals with the male and female urinary systems as well as the male reproductive system. Urology is a surgical speciality; however, it involves an intimate knowledge of the medical aspects and management of a wide variety of urological conditions.
Some of the common conditions that you may need to see a Urologist for include:
- Kidney stones
- Kidney and bladder infections
- Prostate enlargement
- Cancer of the kidney, bladder, prostate, testicles or penis.
- Urinary incontinence
- Male infertility and vasectomies
- Erectile and sexual dysfunction
- Investigation of blood in the urine.
Treatments
Dr Brits may prescribe medication for many urological conditions after your consultation.
If medication fails, you may need surgery, either minimally invasive or open.
If your condition requires treatment or surgery that Dr Brits does not offer, he may discuss receiving it elsewhere.
