care team hub
A man’s urologist is a physician specially trained to treat problems affecting the urinary track ( bladder, urethra, ureters, kidneys) and disorders of the male reproductive system (penis, prostate, seminal vesicles, testes, and epididymis). Some urologists, called urologic oncologists, are surgeons who further specialize in treating cancer of the urinary tract and male reproductive organs, including the prostate.
