What is a UROLOGIST?
A urologist is a physician who has specialized knowledge and skill regarding problems of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Because of the variety of clinical problems encountered, knowledge of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and other specialties is required of the urologist. Urology is classified as a surgical subspecialty.
Some terms in urology… to know when you have to go with the urologist…
chronic prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate gland, developing slowly and lasting a long time.
cystitis
Inflammation of the bladder, causing pain and a burning feeling in the pelvis or urethra.
cystocele
Fallen bladder. When the bladder falls or sags from its normal position down to the pelvic floor, it can cause either urinary leakage or urinary retention.
enuresis
Urinary incontinence not caused by a physical disorder.
erectile dysfunction
The inability to get or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Also called impotence.
extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL):
A nonsurgical procedure using shock waves to break up kidney stones
Tripter Compact Lithotriptor (Made in Israel)
hematuria
Blood in the urine, which can be a sign of a kidney stone, urinary bladder cancer, cystitis or other urinary problem.
hypospadias
A birth defect in which the opening of the urethra, called the urinary meatus, is on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip.
interstitial cystitis (IC)
A disorder that causes the bladder wall to become swollen and irritated, leading to scarring and stiffening of the bladder, decreased bladder capacity, and, in rare cases, ulcers in the bladder lining. IC is also known as painful bladder syndrome.
kidney stone
A stone that develops from crystals that form in urine and build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney, in the renal pelvis, or in the ureters.
multiple stones in both kidneys
neurogenic bladder
Loss of bladder control caused by damage to the nerves controlling the bladder.
overactive bladder
A condition in which the patient experiences at least two of the following conditions
- urinary urgency
- urge incontinence
- urinary frequency—defined for this condition as urination more than seven times a day or more than twice at night.
Peyronie's disease
A plaque (hardened area) that forms on the penis, preventing that area from stretching. During erection, the penis bends in the direction of the plaque, or the plaque may lead to indentation and shortening of the penis.
prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
A protein made only by the prostate gland. High levels of PSA in the blood may be a sign of prostate cancer.
prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate gland. Chronic prostatitis means the prostate gets inflamed over and over again. The most common form of prostatitis is not associated with any known infecting organism.
pyelonephritis
An infection of the kidneys, usually caused by a germ that has traveled up through the urethra, bladder, and ureters from outside the body.
stress urinary incontinence
Leakage of urine caused by actions—such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, running, or lifting—that place pressure on the bladder from inside the body. Stress urinary incontinence can result from either a cystocele (fallen bladder) or weak sphincter muscles
TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate)
Removes the excess prostate tissue by using an instrument with an electrical loop.
TUVP LASER (transurethral vaporization of the prostate)
Removes the prostate tissue by using green laser or holmium laser
TUMT (transurethral microwave thermotherapy)
Destroys excess prostate tissue interfering with the exit of urine from the body by using a probe in the urethra to deliver microwaves.
