While urinary tract infections are not life-threatening if treated early, they can cause serious symptoms if you delay getting treatment.

Urologists specialize in the maintenance, diagnosis, and treatment of functions and disorders concerning the urinary system, and especially the male reproductive system.

Urological diseases are common among men, women, and children of all ages. These conditions affect your urinary tract, which serves as your body’s drainage system.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) – sometimes called a bladder infection – is usually the result of a bacterial infection somewhere along the urinary tract.

Your urinary system is comprised of two kidneys, two ureters, bladder, and the urethra. Your organs rely on the urinary tract, which delivers hydration and acts as a sewage system to remove toxins and waste from your body.
