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.
