urology

meaning in plain English

The part of medicine that deals with problems in the tubes and organs that handle pee, like the bladder or kidneys, and also the parts that handle both pee and sex in men.

Think urology as 'you-rology'—the doc check your pee pipes and men's sex parts.

for example

After years of back pain, his doctor sent him to a urology clinic to check his kidneys and bladder.
