The genitourinary system is a collective term for the organs of the urinary and reproductive systems, which are anatomically close to one another and share certain developmental characteristics. The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, while the reproductive system consists of the male or female reproductive organs.
The urinary system produces and eliminates urine, maintains fluid and electrolyte balance, and helps remove metabolic waste products. The reproductive system is responsible for reproductive functions. Diseases affecting these organs may cause pain, changes in urination, unusual discharge, and other symptoms.
