Urogenital Diseases

Urogenital diseases affect the urinary system, the reproductive system, or both. They include infections, structural disorders, cancers, and conditions that impair organ function.

Urinary System: The organs and structures that produce, store, and eliminate urine. Its organs are affected by the urinary conditions grouped under urogenital diseases.
Urinary Tract Infection: An infection involving part of the urinary tract, most often caused by bacteria. It is among the most common infectious urogenital conditions.
Ascending Infection: An infection that spreads from a lower body site upward through connected anatomical passages. Many urinary infections begin near the urethra and can extend toward the kidneys.
Interstitial Cystitis: A chronic bladder pain condition with urinary symptoms and no infection explaining them. It can resemble recurrent urinary infection despite lacking a detectable bacterial cause.
Infertility: A reproductive condition in which pregnancy cannot be achieved after a period of regular unprotected intercourse. Some reproductive diseases impair fertility directly or through their treatment.
Reproductive System: The organs and structures involved in producing gametes, enabling reproduction, and supporting sexual function. Diseases of these organs form the reproductive component of the field.
Kidney Stone Disease: The formation of mineral crystals in the kidneys or urinary tract, sometimes causing obstruction and pain. Stones demonstrate how a noninfectious urinary disorder can obstruct urine flow.
Urinary Obstruction: A blockage that impedes urine flow through the urinary tract. Obstruction can cause pain, retention, infection, and kidney damage across different diseases.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: An infection of the upper female reproductive tract, often associated with sexually transmitted bacteria. Pelvic pain and urinary complaints can obscure its primarily reproductive-tract origin.
Sexual Dysfunction: Persistent difficulty with sexual response, activity, or satisfaction that causes distress. Pain, hormonal changes, and treatment effects can disrupt sexual function.
