Urethral Prolapse (Urethrocele) The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. When the urethra is not well supported by the muscles and tissues around it, it can curve and widen. This is called a urethral prolapse (urethrocele).
Family medicine (FM), formerly family practice (FP), is a specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages; the specialist is named a family physician or family doctor.
Family Practice & Internal Medicine. Both Family Practice and Internal Medicine physicians serve as primary care physicians. Both types of physicians have attended four years of medical school, followed by a three year residency. The focus of the residency is what differentiates the two areas. Family practice physicians' training focuses on caring for the whole family, including pediatrics and OB/GYN care.
