Day of the urologist

Every year on October 2, a professional holiday is celebrated — Urologist’s Day — doctors who take care of the health of the urinary system. Urologists belong to surgical workers because, unlike nephrologists, they also deal with the surgical treatment of kidney, ureter, and bladder diseases.

The beginning of urology as a separate science was laid in 1588. At the same time, the Spaniard Francisco Diaz published his monograph, which disclosed the methods of combating urological diseases existing at that time. But even in Ancient Rome there were specialists who knew how to remove stones from the bladder.

Regular visits to the urologist will help detect the problem in time and eliminate it. Doctors of this specialty treat male infertility, oncological pathologies, urolithiasis, kidney and prostate tumors. For this, the latest technologies and minimally invasive treatment methods are used.
