It's always a good idea to avoid wearing tight-fitting trousers and nylon underpants, according to urology experts. These types of clothing trap moisture, which provides an excellent environment for the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections to grow.

Thanks to ultrasound imaging, urology is much easier than it once was. This and other noninvasive methods can help your urologist identify problems as various as bladder infections, prostate enlargement and cancers, and kidney and testicle problems.

Boxers or briefs? Urology experts definitely recommend boxer shorts for any man who's trying to become a father. Because of the nature of the male reproductive organs, it's better to wear loose-fitting pants and underwear so that the testicles are at a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body.
