Urology is one of the most important branches of medicine that deals with the surgical as well as medical diseases of the urinary tract system of the both the genders and also the male reproductive organs. Urinary problems affect all age groups as well as genders and are considered to be the most commonly occuring health conditions.

UTI or cystitis is a condition where there is an infection of the lower urinary tract. The symptoms of UTI are:

Kidney stones are formed from accumulated minerals and salts in the urine that are accompanied by excruciating, intermittent pains that occur from the flanks to the groins giving rise to a lot of discomfort. These stones are usually small in size but can grow bigger and cause severe problems if not treated promptly and properly.

Urinary incontinence is a condition where one does not have the control of passing urine. This is a result of loss of bladder control or enlarged prostate or prolapsed uterus.
