Urology Awareness Month September 2018

By

Organised by The Urology Foundation, September’s campaign aims to raise awareness of urological diseases, whilst also raising money in order to fund vital research and training into the diseases.

It is estimated that 1 in 2 of us will be affected by a urology condition in our lifetime. Our urology health is vital to our quality of life. But diseases and cancers of the kidneys, bladder, prostate and the male reproductive system are becoming more prevalent and devastating the lives of millions of men, women and children in the UK.

Therefore throughout the month, the main focus will be raising awareness in order to breakdown the stigma and encourage people to actively take care of their urology health.
