urologists
Bladder system physicians
Urologists are medical doctors who specialize in the urinary tract and male reproductive system.
They diagnose and treat conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, urethra, and prostate, including infections, kidney stones, incontinence, and cancers.
Because much of their work involves the genitals, urologist visits can feel awkward for patients, but the specialty addresses common problems across all ages.
My urologist recommended surgery for the kidney stones.
