The genitourinary system, or urogenital system, are the sex organs of the reproductive system and the organs of the urinary system. [1] These are grouped together because of their proximity to each other, their common embryological origin and the use of common pathways. Because of this, the systems are sometimes imaged together.

[11] Surgical/ invasive treatments may lead to fertility problems. [11]
The part of the urogenital sinus related to the bladder and urethra absorbs the ends of the Wolffian ducts and the associated ends of the renal diverticula. This gives rise to the trigone of the bladder and part of the prostatic urethra. The remainder of this part of the urogenital sinus forms the body of the bladder and part of the prostatic ...

Prompt medical attention lowers the likelihood of permanent penile curvature. In diabetes, peripheral neuropathy can cause tingling in the penile skin and possibly reduced or completely absent ...
[1] [19] [a] The term atrophic vaginitis does not reflect the related changes of the labia, clitoris, vestibule, urethra and bladder. [19] Overall, the current preferred term is Genitourinary syndrome of Menopause (GSM). It is an umbrella term for vulvovaginal atrophy, atrophic vaginitis, urogenital atrophy and vaginal atrophy.

Kidney failure is defined by functional impairment of the kidney, whereas the kidneys are functioning at 15% or less than normal capability. [1] It is divided into acute kidney failure (cases that develop rapidly) and chronic kidney failure (those that are long term). [4]
The urogenital sinus divides into three parts, with the upper and largest part becoming the bladder; the middle part becoming the urethra, and the lower part changes depending on the biological sex of the embryo. [17] The human bladder derives from the urogenital sinus, and it is initially continuous with the allantois.
