Uro-geriatrics
Uro-geriatrics is a medical subspecialty focused on providing urological care to elderly patients. It combines the expertise of urology and geriatrics to address common urinary and genitourinary problems in older adults.
Geriatrically oriented urologists manage conditions such as urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and urological cancers in the elderly.
The goal of this specialty is to improve the quality of life of older patients by offering personalized care tailored to their specific needs. Uro-geriatrists often work in collaboration with other specialists, such as geriatricians, oncologists, and physiotherapists, to provide a multidisciplinary approach to care. Uro-geriatrics plays a crucial role in meeting the unique challenges posed by an aging population and ensuring that elderly patients receive comprehensive and appropriate treatment.
