As a medical and surgical specialty, urology studies and treats the various conditions of the urinary excretory system:
- Kidneys
- Ureters
- Bladder
- Urethra
- Prostate (organ present only on men)
A urology examination focuses on the identification and treatment of urological complaints. It includes a careful clinical assessment with physical examination (if and when applicable) and, where appropriate, evaluation of complementary diagnostic tests. Whenever necessary, the doctor prescribes a personalized, appropriate and effective treatment.
Urology consultation is intended for men, women and children who have urological complaints.

- Acute and chronic cystitis;
- Urinary tract infections;
- Acute orchiepidemitis;
