Functionally, the urogenital system can be divided into two completely different components : urinary system and genital system. However, embryologically and anatomically, the two are closely related. Both originate from a single mesodermal ridge (intermediate mesoderm) along the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity, and initially, the excretory ducts of both systems enter the same cavity, the cloaca. The urogenital system is a system consisting of the urinary system which is divided into the urinary tract and the genital system. Where the urinary system is divided into the upper and lower urinary tracts. The upper urinary tract consists of the kidneys, renal pelvis and ureters, while the lower urinary tract consists of the urinary bladder and urethra. The external genital system in men and women is different, in men it consists of the penis, testes and scrotum, while in women it consists of the vagina, uterus and ovaries. The following will describe the urogenital system in women

ABSTRACT   The aim of this research is to determine the Bio physiological study on urolithiasis by diagnostic techniques and chemical composition in Balochistan, Pakistan. Study is designed to identify the Urolithiasis by using imaging techniquesThe urinary tract (UT) is complex system to conduct and perform excretory function in the body. It is divided into two parts upper urinary tract (UUT) and lower urinary tract (LUT). The UUT formed by the kidneys and ureters, while lower LUT associated with urinary bladder and urethra. The persistent flow of urine from upper urinary tract and lower urinary tract plays important role for the excretion of urine and cleansing of urinary tract Usually the primary function of the kidneys is filtration of blood for the removal of urinary system through urination, the lower parts of the urinary tract is the collection, storage, transportation and drain out urine from body. Moreover, urinary tract ensures the removal of products after metabolism and excretion of toxic products produced by both kidneys and thus help in maintaining homeostasis like water, electrolytes, red blood cells, leucocytes, calcium and blood pressure.

Abstract Background Most patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) suffer from bladder dysfunction during the course of the disease. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of these complications among patients with MS. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on 603 patients with MS who referred to the neurology clinics of Kashani and Alzahra Hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. The sampling was performed by multi-stage random cluster sampling method and the informed consent form was filled in by the subjects. Then, all the data were collected through interviews using the Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (LUTSS) developed in accordance with the definitions presented by the International Continence Society (ICS) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests in SPSS and the significance level was considered to be less than 0.050. Results The prevalence rate of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was 87.6% among all the subjects, with a similar rate among women (88.0%) and men (86.0%). There was a significant difference between the two groups of men and women in terms of the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), intermittent urine flow, hesitancy, straining, and dribbling (P < 0.050). There was no significant difference between the two groups of women and men in terms of the prevalence of other symptoms (P > 0.050). Moreover, there was a significant difference between the degree of LUTS with age, marital status, education, duration of illness, clinical course, and disability (P < 0.05). Conclusions A high prevalence of LUTS was found among patients with MS, with similar rates in men and women, and the nature of the urinary complaints and LUTS was different among men and women with MS. Therefore, it is recommended that the health system take necessary measures regarding timely detection and treatment of LUTS among these patients in order to prevent secondary outcomes and improve the quality of life (QOL) of patients with MS.

Both upper and lower urinary tract obstruction are prevalent in the palliative care setting. Although sometimes related to urological conditions, non-urological aetiologies are also seen. Common causes of lower urinary tract obstruction include benign prostatic hyperplasia in men, an underlying neurological condition, and advanced pelvic malignancy. In the acute setting, bladder decompression with a Foley catheter is the easiest and fastest way to resolve the problem. Common causes of upper urinary tract obstruction include nephrolithiasis and advanced malignancy. This chapter will address the evaluation and management of these common clinical issues.

Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in multiple sclerosis (MS) is highly prevalent in adults, but has not previously been described in paediatric MS. A total of 24 consecutive children with newly diagnosed MS were prospectively assessed for bladder and bowel problems early after diagnosis. Five of 24 children (21%) showed LUTD during assessment. One of these patients did not report voiding complaints. This high prevalence of LUTD indicates that all recently diagnosed patients with paediatric MS should be evaluated early in their disease and treated for urinary problems in order to prevent potential damage to the upper urinary tract.

Haematuria is the presence of blood within the urine and is best defined as visible or non-visible, and symptomatic or non-symptomatic. Non-visible haematuria may be further classified as microscopic or dipstick, depending on the investigation used to detect it. Around 40% of patients presenting with visible haematuria will be found to have a significant underlying cause, and around 20% of patients will be found to have an underlying urological malignancy. Many younger patients will be found to have an underlying nephrological disease. The risk of significant underlying malignancy increases with the extent of haematuria (visible versus non-visible), the absence of symptoms and various patient factors (such as rising age, smoking status, and gender). As such, haematuria is an important urological symptom that requires investigation. These investigations should include clinical assessment, urinalysis, lower urinary tract endoscopy, and upper urinary tract radiological evaluation.
