Medical role and scope of urology

Overview

Urology is a medical specialty focused on the urinary systems of both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. Specialists manage conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, incontinence, and tumors.

In Brazil and Portugal, medical experts highlight the prevalence of urinary incontinence, noting it affects millions of people. They advise that symptoms like blood in the urine or involuntary leakage should not be dismissed as normal aspects of aging.

For male health, urologists address issues including prostate concerns, infertility, and erectile dysfunction. Experts note that erectile dysfunction can act as a cardiovascular risk marker, particularly for patients with hypertension, diabetes, or obesity.
