What is Urology?
Urology is a surgical specialty which deals with diseases of the urinary/reproductive tracts in men and with urinary disease in women. There is a small amount of overlap with other specialties such as gynaecology, genitourinary medicine, reproductive medicine and nephrology (medical kidney disease). Although I am a surgeon, only some 25% of patients referred to me by GPs actually require surgery so, if you are referred, this does not necessarily mean you will automatically be advised to have an operation; many urological conditions can be dealt with by simple, medical means.
