Urologists diagnose and treat disorders of the urinary tract in both men and women. They also diagnose and treat those related to the male reproductive tract. In some cases, surgery may be performed. For example, it can remove cancer or unblock a urinary tract. Urologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private clinics, and urology centers.
