This website aims at physicians and medical professionals. Diseases of the urinary and genital organs are presented in words and pictures; sensitive minds and children might find these pages inappropriate. To avoid annoyance, Steady helps to hide explicit illustrations for casual visitors. Are you a physician and interested? Sign up for Steady and support: as a member, you will get access to all images, and you will not see any advertising anymore. There is a free trial membership; check it out:
The index provides an alphabetical list of diseases, procedures, and relevant keywords. All chapters are free and accessible. A detailed list of abbreviations helps to understand the text. Many new sections and images will be published shortly; please refer to my Steady page https://steadyhq.com/de/urology/about for more information.
What is Urology?
Urology is a surgical and medical specialty that deals with the basics, diagnosis, and treatment of urinary tract and sexual organs diseases. The urologist thus treats diseases of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, testes, prostate, penis, and adrenal glands. Each organ can be affected by congenital diseases, infections, trauma, benign diseases, or malignant tumors.
