More than 30 million individuals in the United States live with urologic conditions that affect their quality of life. Urologists specialize  in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the urinary tracts of males and females, and the reproductive system of males. Urology combines the management of medical (i.e., non-surgical) problems such as urinary tract infections and benign prostatic hyperplasia, as well as surgical  procedures that are used to treat cancers, the correction of congenital abnormalities and correcting stress incontinence.
