The word "urological" originally comes from the Greek language. "Uro" means urine, and "logia" means the study of. So, urological refers to the medical specialty that deals with the urinary system and its disorders. The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Urological conditions can affect any part of this system and may require diagnosis, treatment, and management by a urologist, a medical specialist in this field. Urology is also sometimes called genitourinary medicine due to the genital organs, such as the prostate and testes, also falling under its ambit.
