What Does a Urologist Treat?
Urologists are doctors who specialize in treating conditions affecting the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as disorders of the male reproductive system. Their expertise includes medical and surgical treatments.
Common conditions urologists treat include:
- Kidney Stones
- Urinary Incontinence and Overactive Bladder
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
- Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
- Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Urologic Cancers: Bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancer
Urologist vs. Nephrologist: What’s the Difference?
Although both urologists and nephrologists provide kidney-related care, their roles are distinct. Urologists specialize in the urinary tract and male reproductive system, often focusing on surgical treatments and structural issues. Nephrologists, in contrast, concentrate on kidney health and function.
- Urologist: Specializes in diagnosing and treating structural issues and conditions that may require surgical intervention in the urinary tract and male reproductive system, such as kidney stones, cancers, and urinary incontinence.
- Nephrologist: Focuses on managing kidney function and systemic conditions related to internal medicine, such as chronic kidney disease, dialysis, and high blood pressure (hypertension).
