Genitourinary disorders represent the field of pathology that urology deals with, both from the medical point of view, as for example in the case of urinary tract infections, benign prostatic hyperplasia and their conservative treatment, as well as the surgical treatment of conditions such as malignant renal, bladder and prostate tumors, renal or bladder lithiasis, congenital malformations, reno-urinary trauma and stress incontinence.
The medical treatment of urological disorders such as urinary tract infections is combined with the surgical correction of congenital abnormalities or cancers in the genito-urinary sphere. Investigation of urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, male infertility, pediatric urology are the prerogative of the urologist.
