Urology is the part of medicine that deals with the urinary system — the kidneys, the tubes, the bladder, and the way the body makes and passes urine. In men it also covers the sexual organs, so a urologist treats things like prostate trouble and problems with getting an erection, as well as kidney stones, blood in the urine, or having to get up many times in the night.
