It’s estimated that 1 in 2 of us will be affected by a urological condition at some point in our lives. Whether it’s prostate cancer, kidney stones, incontinence or UTIs, men and women are very likely to experience a problem with their urology health.
That’s why The Urology Foundation are spearheading a month-long campaign to increase awareness of urology and breakdown the stigma that currently comes with urological conditions. They are encouraging everyone to actively take care of their urology health by raising money to fund research and widen understanding of these conditions.
At talkhealth, we are always doing our bit to encourage better awareness of urology health through webinars, virtual coffee mornings and articles. This Urology Awareness Month, we have compiled a list of some of our best urology-related resources for you to learn from and share with those who need them:
Webinar:

Bladder health coffee morning with Bladder Health UK
Every other Friday at 11am, we invite our members to grab a cuppa and chat with one another about a health topic. In the last session of each month, we invite a medical expert to join the chat and share their expertise.
January’s medical expert, Karen Powell, was our specialist bladder and bowel nurse from Bladder Health UK. Throughout the zoom meeting, she shared her tips for better continence self-management, approaching specialists and most importantly picking up the phone and admitting that you need help: ‘If you have got a problem, talk to somebody about it. The earlier you can be diagnosed, the quicker we can point you in the direction of the people who can help you.’
