There’s a misconception that urologists focus on men’s issues, but they handle many issues for women. Some of the top reasons women end up in the urologist’s office are recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder issues, pelvic floor issues and kidney stones, among other things. Women’s urinary tracts are shorter and wider, making them more susceptible to infections. UTIs are considered recurrent if you have two or more in a 6-month period or three or more in a year. These are especially common in postmenopausal women and can be resistant to antibiotics. Learn more about women’s urological issues.
