Enlarged prostate : Benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH affects around 1 in 3 men over the age of 50 years. An overgrowth of cells in the prostate gland causes the urethra to constrict, leading to problems with urination. Erectile dysfunction : The penis is unable to attain sufficient rigidity to fully participate in sexual intercourse.
This is often a symptom of an underlying condition. This can lead to bending or curving in the penis phimosis during an erection that can cause pain and lead to difficulties with sexual intercourse. Interstitial cystitis or painful bladder syndrome : A chronic inflammatory bladder condition can produce discomfort ranging from mild to severe.
Kidney and ureteral stones : Small, hard deposits made from mineral and acid salts form in the kidneys but can pass through into the ureters. They can affect urination and cause pain, nausea and vomiting. Prostatitis : Infection or inflammation of the prostate can cause painful urination or ejaculation.
It can be acute or chronic. Undescended testes, or cryptorchidism : Normally, the testicles form inside the abdomen of a fetus and descend into the scrotum before birth. If one or both does not descend, sperm production can be impaired, and there is a risk of complications. Urethral stricture : scarring of the urethra can narrow or block the path of urine flowing from the bladder.
Causes include infection, inflammation or injury. Symptoms include painful urination and reduced output. It can lead to complications such as prostatitis and urinary tract infections. Pediatric urology : This includes the treatment of urological problems in children that are too complex for non-specialized pediatricians. Urodynamic testing can check how fast the urine leaves the body, how much urine remains in the bladder after urinating, and how much pressure there is in the bladder.
Following diagnosis, the treatment will depend on the condition.
