Urology is the surgical specialty that essentially focuses on the disorders or diseases associated with the urinary tracts of males and females, and the male reproductive system. Medical professionals who specialise in this field are called Urologists and are trained to effectively diagnose, treat, and manage patients suffering from related disorders. The various organs covered by urology include – kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and male reproductive organs namely – the, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis.
Urology involves the management of problems such as urinary tract stones, infections and benign prostatic enlargement, as well as complicated surgical problems such as the surgical management of different types of cancers and correction of congenital defects. Moreover, it is closely related to other medical fields including Oncology, Nephrology, Gynaecology, Gastroenterology, and Endocrinology. It is a discipline that combines the study of different organs and physiological systems, comprising different sub-fields.
You may consult a urologist if you face issues such as:
Painful urination, straining or difficulty in passing urine, poor flow, frequency or urgency and incomplete voiding
Abdominal pain radiating to the groin with or without nausea or fever
Blood in the urine or Hematuria, which could be an early sign of a bladder or kidney cancer
Urinary tract infection, kidney stones and bladder infections
An increase in PSA levels or a change in PSA, the most sensitive indicator of prostate cancer
Any defect or abnormality of the kidney revealed by an X-ray
A testicular mass or continuous pain in scrotum
Male infertility problems such as low sperm count and sperm abnormalities
Erectile dysfunction or ejaculatory problems
Factors that could increase the potential risk of developing kidney stones include:
Dehydration
People who live in regions that have predominantly warm climates and those prone to excessive sweating
Consuming food rich in high protein, sodium and sugar
Obesity
Gastric bypass surgery, inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhoea can bring about changes in the digestive process, which could in turn affect the assimilation of calcium and water
Other medical conditions such as Renal tubular acidosis, Cystinuria, and Hyperparathyroidism
High uric acid levels
Recurrent Urinary tract infections
Family history of stones
Men are more vulnerable to developing kidney stones when compared to women
Certain medications
Adequate hydration does have a role in preventing stones; however, many patients, especially the elderly, land up with increased urinary frequency, urgency, nighttime frequency, incontinence, disturbed sleep, and daytime sleepiness, resulting in falls.
Water requirements are based on ambient temperature and activity level.
To maintain good hydration status: Heed your thirst and check your urine colour.
Foods containing seeds like tomato, guava, and lady finger need not be avoided by patients with kidney stones as they do not increase the potential for stone formation.
Their diet needs to be altered depending on the type of kidney stone.
