Urology
Urology is a medical specialty that is dedicated to the pathology of the genitourinary system - diseases of the kidneys and bladder, as well as the prostate, testicles and penis (in males). This clinical discipline has great social impact as it treats a number of socially significant diseases.
The incidence of urological symptoms generally increases during pregnancy. This is due to the profound hormonal and anatomical changes that occur in the small pelvis.
For example, asymptomatic bacteriuria (commonly caused by inflammation of the bladder) is observed in 10-15% of pregnant ladies. Problems such as acute vesicle-ureteral obstruction and nephrolithiasis occur more often during pregnancy.
Consequently, a significant proportion of pregnant ladies require specialized urological care in order to prevent or treat urinary tract infections or complications in pregnancy.
All inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system need adequate and timely treatment in order to prevent their recurrence.
Kidney stone disease is another condition that is widespread in our country, as Bulgaria is an endemic area for stones in the urinary tract.
It should not be forgotten that tumor diseases of the kidney have an asymptomatic course at the beginning and are often diagnosed during a random preventive examination. Blood in the urine is a disturbing clinical symptom that must be approached carefully and responsibly to rule out a malignant disease of the bladder or the kidney cavity system.
The male half is not to be neglected either. Benign enlarged prostate is widespread among older men, with more than 40% of men over the age of 60 suffering from the condition. On the other hand, prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men after 60 years of age.
Testicular tumors often have an aggressive nature. They occur mainly in young men, after self-diagnosis. In these cases, timely consultation with a specialist urologist is extremely important.
Urology also deals with problems such as erectile dysfunction and involuntary leakage of urine, which seriously reduce the quality of life.
The prophylaxis and prevention of urological diseases are of great importance for health, and all patients should be offered quality and adequate treatment in this area.
