Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): It is the most common type of urinary system disorder caused by a bacterial infection. Symptoms include painful urination, frequent urination, and cloudy urine.
Kidney Stones: They are solid masses formed in the kidney due to the accumulation of minerals and salts. Symptoms include severe pain in the lower back or abdomen, nausea, and vomiting.
Urinary Incontinence: It is the involuntary leakage of urine. Types of urinary incontinence include stress incontinence, urge incontinence, overflow incontinence, and mixed incontinence.
Enuresis: It is the involuntary urination, affecting children mostly. It is due to developmental problems or psychological factors.
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): It is a genetic disorder in which cysts grow inside the kidneys, leading to kidney damage.
Nephritis: It is an inflammation of the kidney caused by an autoimmune reaction, bacterial infections or viral infections. Symptoms include swelling of hands, feet, and face, and high blood pressure.
Renal Failure: It is the condition where the kidneys fail to function properly. Chronic renal failure can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that requires dialysis or kidney transplant.
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR): It is a condition in which urine flows back into the kidneys due to a weakened valve between the bladder and ureter. It can lead to kidney damage and UTIs.
Bladder Cancer: It is a type of cancer that develops in the lining of the bladder. Symptoms include blood in the urine, pain during urination, and frequent urination.
