Urological diseases describe numerous conditions that are associated with the filtration and carriage of urine. These conditions can affect people of all ages i.e. the old or even children. Men and women, teens and adults. They affect specific parts of the body but mainly, the most affected parts are those of the urinary and reproductive system. According to Advanced Urology center in Marietta and Lawrenceville as well as the American Urological Association (AUAF), the general pathology of urological diseases can be summarized to cover some of the following conditions and diseases. 

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This is a men's disorder common in older males. It is associated with an increase in the prostate gland. However, against many peoples` view, this disease is not linked to prostate cancer directly. In this condition, the urethra is pressured by the large prostate. Men with this disorder urinate frequently. This disease also causes a weak stream of urine. After urination, the bladder seems full due to this disease. It is prescribed with medication such as alpha-blockers. In addition to medication, surgery can also be done to treat severe cases of this syndrome. Also, monitoring of this condition is encouraged.

Urinary incontinence. This is a condition in which the bladder fails to control its activities. This leads to the leakages of urine. More than 15 million people in the US experience this condition as per data derived from the American Urological Association Foundation (AUAF). This disease is caused by diabetes, pregnancy, severe constipation, urinary tract infections, enlarged prostate among other causes. It can be controlled through lifestyle modifications such as fluid intake control. The patient can also be subjected to surgery to solve the problem.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). This is caused by the invading of the urinary tract by viruses or pathogenic bacteria. This is more in women though it can also be found in men under rare circumstances. This disease is symptomized by a burning sensation during the passage of urine. The victim also experiences frequent urge to urinate, after urination the bladder cannot be empty. Antibiotics are used to clear this condition within five to seven days.

Kidney and Urethra Stones. Small particlesand crystals in urine develop in the kidney to form stones. If they extend to the urethra they are calledureteral stones. The patient expels small stones from the body when the condition is not addressed. This can result in a blockage that may be fatal. Large stones can be removed through medication or surgery. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy techniques are used to solve this. This involves breaking the stones using sound waves.
