Urology

If something goes wrong with your urinary tract -- your body's system for getting rid of your pee -- you may need to see a special doctor called a urologist. They're experts who can treat problems that range from kidney stones to cancer.

Urologist

Your urologist knows all about the urinary system, which includes your kidneys, bladder, ureters (thin muscles that carry pee into your bladder) and urethra (tube that drains pee out of your bladder.)

Urologists also treat a man's reproductive system, which includes the penis, testes, scrotum, and prostate.

A urologist could even serve as your primary doctor if you have:

• Regular problems with kidney stones
• Prostate cancer
• Long-term problems with holding your urine
