Urology is a specialty that deals with problems related to the genitourinary system. Contrary to popular beliefs, urological disease spans across a wide age group and is present in both genders. We see problems from urinary stones, urinary tract infection, urinary incontinence, to the commonly known prostate problems and oncological problems such as kidney, bladder and prostate cancers. There are also other lesser known urological problems such as congenital urological problems, functional lower urinary symptoms, and kidney transplantation. This brochure introduces to you some common urological diseases, the symptoms and signs, and what you can do to help yourself. Written in simple layman terms, we aim to empower you to understand the problem you are suffering from and the various treatment options available, so that you can make the most appropriate choice for yourself.
