Here are some of the questions most frequently asked when patients enter the doctor’s practice:

Urology is a medical specialisation, focused on treating conditions and diseases of the genital and urinary tract in men, women and children. Urologists are also responsible for treating male reproductive disorders.

While this number will vary based on a number of factors, the average healthy person will urinate between four and eight times a day. More frequent urination, or waking up at night to urinate may indicate a health problem, but could also be the result of drinking too much before or at bedtime.

Kidney stones are small deposits made up of acid salts and minerals that form in the kidneys. They can pass through into your urinary tract and cause pain, nausea and vomiting if not treated.

If you have a sudden onset of incontinence, suffer from frequent accidents, or have noticed that incontinence is interfering with your quality of life – you should consult with a doctor.
