Urology

What is Urology?

Urology is a medical speciality dedicated to diagnosing, managing, and treating conditions affecting the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as disorders of the male reproductive system. Urologists are highly trained specialists who focus on the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate gland, and male reproductive organs.

Urology encompasses a wide array of conditions, ranging from common disorders such as urinary tract infections and kidney stones, to more complex conditions and malignancies such as prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer. Through the use of advanced diagnostics, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and personalised patient care, Busamed's urologists strive to effectively manage your condition and improve your quality of life.
