Urology
Urology is a medical speciality that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the kidneys and the urinary tract – the bladder, ureters and urethra – in both men and women. Urology also covers the treatment of the male reproductive organs. The most common conditions in urology include, amongst others: urinary tract infections, kidney stones, fertility issues, incontinence, as well as cancers such as prostate cancer.
Genital warts – How do they develop and what can be done about them?
Genital warts are benign skin growths in the genital area. They are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are among the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide.
HPV in men
HPV does not only affect women – men also frequently become infected, usually without realising it. It is estimated that up to 80 per cent of all sexually active people will contract HPV at least once in their lifetime. The infection usually goes unnoticed and often remains undetected for a long time.
Kidney stones
Kidney stones are crystallised components of urine that form in the kidneys, renal pelvis and the urinary tract.
