Urology
Private MEVA Hospital
Urology is a medical specialty that encompasses the diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment of urinary tract diseases in both men and women, as well as male reproductive system disorders. Although often associated with male health in society, the urology department actively deals with many diseases affecting women and children as well.
Although urology is a surgical specialty, urologists manage the treatment process of patients not only through surgeries but also through medication treatments, minimally invasive interventions, and lifestyle adjustments. The Urology Department at Meva Hospital aims to enhance the quality of life for patients with modern diagnostic methods and current treatment approaches.
What Does the Urology Department Cover?
Urology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases related to the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, prostate, testes, penis, and scrotum. Infections, dysfunctions, stone diseases, and cancers affecting the urinary and reproductive systems are the primary areas of interest in urology.
This broad scope shows that urology provides solutions to many health issues seen in both sexes and at all ages. Urology services at Meva Hospital are planned in a holistic approach, from diagnosis to treatment.
