Urinary Incontinence Kidney Stones
Additional Resources Your urinary system filters waste and extra fluid from your blood. Problems in the urinary system include kidney failure, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, prostate enlargement, and bladder control problems. Such problems can be painful, difficult to manage, and serious. It is important to see a doctor if you are in pain or have any trouble with urination.
