Why is a person referred to urology?

A person is typically referred to urology for issues related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Common reasons include symptoms like urinary incontinence, frequent urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or prostate problems. Urologists also address conditions such as bladder dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, and cancers of the urinary system. Referral may be initiated by a primary care physician or another specialist when these issues require specialized evaluation and treatment.
