Urology is the scientific specialty that includes care for the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra and (in women) the pelvic floor. You might be referred to a urologist for frequent or recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), or for another health condition of the genitourinary system.
If you are experiencing infertility, your male partner may go to a urologist to work up potential male infertility.
And if you are considering a vasectomy, or a reversal, you’ll work with a urologist as well.
