About urology
Urology has two functions: the urinary tract function, which addresses the organs that help you process waste and eliminate urine:
- Kidneys
- Ureter
- Urethra
- Bladder
And the male sexual function, which addresses the organs closely interrelated with the urinary tract:
- Prostate
- Penis
- Testicles
Our experienced team of urologists bring extensive knowledge and leading care to the personal and sensitive conditions we treat.
