These disorders may cause significant health problems for patients and interfere with everyday life because they can affect the:
- Kidneys
- Adrenal glands
- Ureters
- Urinary bladder
- Urethra
- Male reproductive organs
What Do Baptist Medical Group Urologists Do?
Baptist Medical Group urologists work with patients to properly diagnose urological disorders so the right treatment plan can be implemented. Baptist Medical Group urologists are dedicated to seeking the right care for patients with urological problems so they can get better sooner.
Problems in the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive system can impact other areas of the body, meaning total (whole body) involvement is possible. Because of this, Baptist Medical Group urologists may sometimes work with other Baptist Medical Group specialists including nephrologists, gynecologists, pediatricians and/or neurologists to achieve the right diagnosis.
