Urethral cancer affects the urethra — the tube that allows urine to flow from the bladder out of the body. Along with the bladder, ureters, and kidneys, it forms the urinary tract.
Urethral Cancer
Urinary Incontinence
People with urinary incontinence have trouble controlling their bladder function and leak urine from the urethra. The experience is of course unpleasant and affects a person’s daily life.
Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur when bacteria enters your urethra. UTIs are common. In fact, the American Urological Association estimates that 8.1 million doctor’s visits each year are due to UTIs.
Urologic Emergencies
There are times, however, when the urinary tract doesn’t work as well as it should. Should a person wait and see what happens? Or could there be an emergency that needs immediate care?
Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed to block sperm from leaving the body. It’s a highly effective and common birth control option.
