XIV: Diseases of the genitourinary system
Diseases of the genitourinary system refer to a group of conditions that impact the organs responsible for reproductive and urinary functions. These diseases can affect the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, male reproductive organs (penis, prostate, testes, etc.), and female reproductive organs (ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, etc.). General characteristics of these conditions can include inflammation, pain, abnormalities, or dysfunctions. The causes can be diverse and could include infections, genetic predispositions, injuries, lifestyle factors, or disruptions in the normal flow of urine. These conditions might lead to distinct changes, such as discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen, changes in urinary habits, blood in urine, unexplained weight loss, or reproductive issues. Untreated, these diseases can progress to impacting other body systems and overall health status. Each disease in this group presents with unique symptoms and can progress differently, hence timely diagnosis is imperative.
