Urine drainage (urination) is an important physiological function in daily lives. This urinary function is primarily responsible for the bladder and urethra, but is closely controlled by brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Therefore, urination disorders may occur due to not only bladder, prostate or urethra problem but also various neurological diseases. This is referred to as 'neurogenic bladder. In addition, it is called urinary retention if you cannot urinate all of sudden even if there is no neurological condition. Urology is treating these kinds of various diseases.
At urinary incontinence clinic, professional and systematic treatment for uncontrolled urinary leakage is available. With the recent economic development, improvement in quality of life has become an important matter of interest, and people tend to be not proactive for treating urinary incontinence due to sense of embarrassment or delaying treatment about it. Urinary incontinence clinic is accurately diagnosing the cause of incontinence, and not only surgically corrects them but also uses various and effective non-surgical methods to treat urinary incontinence.
At men's medicine clinic, comprehensive treatment for men's issues is available, including erectile dysfunction, sexual dysfunction and male infertility. As there has been rising interest in the field of men's medicine, many kinds of treatment methods have been developed after series of studies. We are pursuing 'patient-oriented care' for systematic diagnosis and treatment.
Urinary and genital diseases change as children grow, so treatment methods must be adjusted accordingly. Commonly treated pediatric diseases include hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux, undescended testis, and hypospadias.
Urology is a medical department dealing with organs related to urological organs such as the kidneys, ureter, bladder and urethra, which are pathways for urine generated, stored and excreted out of the body, and male reproductive organs such as the penis, testis, vas deferens, and prostate gland. It is a field of surgery that diagnoses and treats primarily with surgical methods. We treat urinary tumors (kidney cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer, penile cancer and adrenal tumors) by open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.
