Here we have yet another medical term with Greek origins; the Greek ouron meaning urine and our old favorite -logia which we all recognise as meaning the  study of.

We shouldn't be surprised that so many medical terms are Greek. The "father" of medicine was the Greek physician Hippocrates (460–370 BC), who is remembered for the Hippocratic oath.

I'm currently seeing a urologist about an extreme hydrocele (HI-droe-seel) condition.  The problem has been drained three times, but the condition keeps returning, so I'm going in for a surgical correction in a couple of weeks.

I went to a Urologist once for possible Peyronie's disease. Things were getting out of wack. Everything's straightened out since then.

@Ron, This is freaky.  I’ve never heard of this disease and the physiological issue behind it.. the Wikipedia photos made me feel ill.  And now, here in Spain, Netxflix episode of The Resident features a fractured penis.  Serendipity or NIGHTMARE!!!!

@Gary L I'd say that qualifies as serendipity. A fractured penis is vastly different than Peyronies, as I'm sure you figured out. One is caused by a missed missile launch, which qualifies as a nightmare to be sure.

I'm lucky enough to have not 1, but 2 urologists :P

Not because my penis is so big it needs 2 doctors to work on it, but they are dealing with different issues.

I regularly visit my urologist for my kidney stones, have had to have surgery to remove them. Twice in 4 years, already been told to expect surgery next year.
