Coining a new term-Urovesicology: Advancing towards a mechanistic understanding of bladder symptoms

When patients present with lower urinary tract symptoms
(urgency, frequency, nocturia, slow stream, hesitancy, sense of
incomplete emptying, post-void dribbling), urinary incontinence
(stress and urge), urinary retention, dysuria, and/or bladder
pain, the urologist would be the most appropriate specialist
to evaluate and treat these patients. These symptoms will be
collectively labeled as "urovesicologic" symptoms, the reason
which will become apparent. Because these symptoms usually
have no known cause, empiric (trial-and-error) treatments
directed at ameliorating symptoms, but not at the underlying
pathophysiology, are the usual recourse.
