Earlier than has been thought, multiple seventeenth- and eighteenth-century authors used the term urologia, perhaps independently, to cover the established science of "the urines". Two early eighteenth-century authors, Schurig and Fezer, seemingly prepared manuscripts, both most probably lost, with the term in the very title. Mid-nineteenth-century uses reflected growing, especially Anglophone, interest in microscopic urinalysis. Only toward the end of the nineteenth century did urology take on the sense of genito-urinary medicine and surgery. This expanded sense of urology may be dated back to 1896, specifically the naming of the Association française d'urologie.
比人们此前认为的时间更早，17和18世纪的多位作者或许是独立地使用了“urologia”一词来涵盖已确立的“尿液”科学。18世纪早期的两位作者，舒里希（Schurig）和费泽（Fezer），似乎都准备了手稿，很可能都已失传，手稿标题中就有这个词。19世纪中叶的用法反映出人们，尤其是英语国家的人，对显微镜下尿液分析的兴趣日益浓厚。直到19世纪末，泌尿学才具有了生殖泌尿医学与外科的含义。泌尿学这种扩展后的含义或许可以追溯到1896年，具体来说是法国泌尿学协会的命名。
