Urological disorder refers to any condition that affects the urinary tract and its functioning. The urinary tract consists of kidneys, ureters and bladder. Some common urologic disorders are urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, kidney stones and prostate cancer. Urinary incontinence involves the loss of bladder control.

These stones can result in the blockage of the tubes which carry urine and cause a substantial amount of pain. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a common technique used to remove large stones.

Treatment of UTI depends on the analysis of urine. Antibiotic therapy is a common treatment used for UTI infections.
