Abstract The aim of this study is to know the pattern and incidence of urological diseases so that: 1- We could plan for eradication of predisposing factors that determines such pattern and this incidence. 2- We could plan for control and management of such diseases to improve the life expectancy and physical fitness of the citizens and hence to improve the economy of the country. Conclusion: Urinary tract infections constitute the majority of cases encountered in the urology outpatient clinic where 32.2% of all cases presented with non-specific urinary tract infections and 10, 9 of cases had bilharzial ova in their urine. Tuberculosis was found in 20 patients only. Most of them had chronic tuberculosis epididymitis. The mean of non-specific urinary tract infections was 30.15 + (-) 14, 6 years and that of bilharziasis was 25.5 + (-) 16.9 years. Male patients were 67.9% of all patients presented with non-specific urinary tract infection and 81,7% of those presented with active bilharziasis with bilharzial ova detected in their urine. On study of the incidence per month of attendance of patients with non specific and bilharzial urinary tract infections; it was found that two peaks of high incidence were encountered; the first was in winter and the second during the summer months. Both non specific urinary tract infections and bilharziasis has the same high incidence periods. Chronic renal failure was encountered in 1.66% of cases.
