Women’s Health - Urology

Introduction

Urology deals with the study of diseases affecting your urinary system. The organs included in the urological system are the kidneys, adrenal glands (small glands on top of your kidneys), ureters (thin muscular tubes which carry urine from kidneys to the bladder), urinary bladder, and urethra (the tube that drains urine out of your bladder). Urological diseases in women mainly affect their urinary system and pelvic floor. These diseases include urinary tract infections (UTIs), cystitis (bladder infection), kidney stones, bladder control problems like urine incontinence, pelvic floor diseases, pelvic prolapse (downward displacement of the pelvis), kidney and bladder cancer.

Symptoms related to urology diseases are:

  • Cloudy (unclear) urine
  • Blood in the urine (hematuria)
  • Burning sensation or pain while urinating
  • Difficulty in controlling the urge to urinate
  • Difficulty while urinating
  • Urinary leakage
  • Weak urine flow (dribbling of urine)
  • Pain in the pelvis or lower back

What Are the Causes of Urology Diseases in Women?

Causes of urology diseases in women are:

  • Increased chances of UTIs due to the proximity of women’s urinary tract to the genital area.
  • Pregnancy and childbirth can increase women’s chances of getting urologic diseases.
  • Sexual intercourse can also be a cause of urologic infections in women.

  • Cystoscopy to visualise the interior of your urinary bladder.
  • Biopsy to identify the type of tissue.
  • Urodynamic testing to identify your bladder pressure, the speed with which your urine is eliminated, and the residual urine remaining in your bladder.
