Most Common Questions For Your El Paso Urology Clinic
When you are seeking the assistance from your El Paso Urology Clinic, you may have some basic questions for them. Some of the most common questions that urologists experience from their patients are:
What is urology?
Urology is a special focus in medicine on the conditions and diseases of the genito-urinary tract system within men, women and children. Urology also studies the disorders of the male reproductive system. If you or a loved one is experiencing complications within the urinary tract, your El Paso urology clinic can discuss ways to help.
What does “urodynamics” mean?
Urodynamics consists of the mechanisms involved in your urinary tract. Urodynamic testing analyzes the functioning of the bladder, urethra, and muscles (sphincters) that control the elimination of urine. These kinds of tests help your El Paso urology clinic treat problems with storing urine or releasing urine.
What can I do to maintain good urologic health?
Generally, the best way to avoid urological problems is to focus on having good overall health in exercising regularly, avoiding tobacco, excessive alcohol and caffeine/diuretics.
How does a person become a urologist?
Urologists are surgeons. For this reason it takes longer to become a urologist than to become a medical specialist in other disciplines. Usually a person seeking to become a urologist can expect to recieve14 additional years of education and training after high school. A urologist is a physician who’s had four years of college, four years of medical school and at least two years of general surgical training, followed by another four years of special training in this specific type of surgery.
