The ureter is an organ that propels urine from the kidneys to the bladder. When a patient has ureteral disease, it can impair his or her ability to urinate and therefore cause him or her to become completely incontinent, which can be painful and embarrassing.
The ureter is an organ that propels urine from the kidneys to the bladder. If a patient has ureteral disease, he or she may be unable to urinate properly (incontinence) which is a painful and embarrassing problem.

Urinary dysfunction is an impaired ability to urinate. This is most commonly referred to as incontinence, which can be a painful and embarrassing condition for patients to suffer from. Therefore it can be treated with medication or surgery.
Urinary incontinence is an impaired ability to urinate; this means that the patient will suffer from embarrassing bladder leakages and a painful inability to produce urine despite feelings of need. This condition can be treated with medications and surgery.
Kidney stones, or urinary tract stones, are solid calcium formations that form abnormally on a patient’s kidney and may pass into the urinary bladder. Kidney stones make urination extremely painful; therefore, they can be broken up with shock waves, removed with invasive surgery, or allowed to pass through the body naturally (very painfully).
A urogynecologist is a doctor who works in both the gynecology and urology specialties. As a physician in both fields, he or she is trained to handle a number of disorders of the patient’s bladder or genitals. The most common disorder a urogynecologist may treat is a urinary tract infection, which occurs in women.
Urologic cancer, or bladder cancer, is a serious condition characterized by malignant tumors on the patient’s bladder. Since the bladder is an organ within the urinary tract where urine is stored, bladder cancer can make urination extremely difficult or impaired. Therefore physicians must treat patients immediately to alleviate their pain and discomfort.
A urologic endoscopy is a procedure when a small camera is inserted into the patient’s urinary tract. This procedure is performed for diagnostic purposes; if the physician can get a visual image of the inside of the patient’s urinary tract, then he or she can better diagnose and treat any conditions existing there.
Urologic lasers are tools used to break up dangerous kidney or bladder stones. Lasers break down these abnormal calcium deposits so that the human body can naturally pass them. Ultrasound technology can also be used.
Urology is a medical-surgical field that focuses on the urinary tracts of both males and females. It also deals with the reproductive system in males. Urologists train and treat kidney, ureters, bladder, prostrate, and penis conditions.
