Urology is a surgical specialty, which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the male and female urinary system, as well as the male reproductive system. Due to the various clinical aspects encountered in the urological practice, specialists in this field require, in addition to surgical expertise, a thorough understanding of other medical branches, such as internal medicine, gynaecology, paediatrics, or neurology.

There are multiple reasons to consult a urology specialist. These may include urinary bladder infections, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, renal lithiasis, male infertility, or a tumour pathology of the uro-genital system.

During the urologic consultation, a specialist in this field will listen to your medical history and the history of the disorder that prompted you to seek our assistance. If you have records of prior imaging investigations, such as X-rays or CTs, or laboratory tests please bring them with you for the consultation. These will be reviewed by your urologist, sometimes together with a specialist in radiology or medical imaging.

After establishing your medical history, a general clinical examination and an examination focused on the urinary system will be carried out. It may be necessary to add laboratory tests, blood and urine samples, or ultrasound investigations.
