General medical knowledge series (I)
The human urinary system consists of: kidneys (produce urine) – ureters (transmit urine) – bladder (store urine) – urethra (urinary drainage pipe).
(a) Does urology only see men’s diseases?
The diseases seen by urology cover all people, men, women and children can suffer from urological diseases.
Reason 1: Urology addresses two parts of the problem.
①Urological problems of all people, diseases regardless of gender;
②Men’s reproductive system problems. (Male science is a branch of urology Xu.)
Reason 2: Different diseases have different confusion at different stages of life. Especially in our southern region, urinary stones are common and frequent. Circumcision in young boys or some adults is also a common minor problem in men. Urological tumors (kidney cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer) also have a high incidence in the population.
(B) Where to look for lumbar problems?
Waist is a common name for the kidney.
Urology covers the surgical treatment of kidney diseases. (For example: kidney tumors, kidney stones, kidney tuberculosis, kidney cysts, etc., etc.) (Excluding: glomerulonephritis, chronic kidney disease and other internal diseases.)
Generally speaking, all kidney diseases other than nephritis belong to the scope of urology.
Therefore, nephrology is not the same as the department that specializes in lumbago.
Urology is the main clinical department to solve the problem of waist, and urology and nephrology work together at different levels to achieve the purpose of protecting the kidney function.
