September is Urology Awareness Month and this year the theme is: Men’s Urology Health – Myths and Legends. The Urology Foundation have been busting common myths around men’s urology health and working with legends who talk about their own urology health and encourage men to open up and seek support. From prostate cancer, and other urology cancers to erectile dysfunction and kidney stones, the UF urge males to recognise when something’s not right and speak out to get help. 1 in 2 men are diagnosed with a urology condition. Urology health is an important part of overall well-being for men. KMA are proud to support #UrologyAwarenessMonth #UAM24. If something doesn’t feel right below the belt, be a LEGEND and seek medical advice.

🔬Advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are the top growth trends in urologic care, according to recent data. Other key areas include robotic surgery, nanotechnology, and non-invasive treatment, urinary biomarkers, genomic and molecular profiling, telemedicine and remote monitoring, and neuromodulation. 💊Both urologists and older adults agree that emerging technology can benefit urologic care through early detection and prevention, improved accuracy of diagnostics and treatment plans, and a reduced need for invasive or painful procedures. ⚖️However, 50% of urologists report that implementing new technologies is challenging. The top barriers include lack of funding, lack of training, and lack of infrastructure. It's clear that technology is transforming urologic care, but it's important to address these challenges so access is more accessible to more patients!

✍ In an interview with Prof. Enrico Finazzi-Agrò, the newly elected Chair of the EAU section of functional urology (ESFU), he shared his vision for the recently renamed section, and his perspective on the opportunities and challenges ahead. 🔹 ESFU or ESFFU? Prof. Finazzi-Agrò: “Well, this is an important question. The previous ESFU (ESFFU) board, led by Prof. Cruz, in which I was board member, felt this acronym ‘ESFFU’ was a little bit too complicated. We discussed also the possibility to include the word “incontinence” in the new acronym but again we found the results unsatisfactory. Thus, we decided to remove an ‘F’: just to be clear, the EAU section is now called ‘of functional urology’ instead ‘of functional and female urology’. Does this mean that we do not want to take care of our female patients? Absolutely not: ‘functional urology’ includes ‘female urology’. We did not want to omit parts of our scientific field of interest, but, on the other hand, we have made it broader.” 🔹 Can you explain what ‘functional urology’ is? Prof. Finazzi-Agrò: “The first thing I would say is that it's a very interesting and extensive field, comprising of neurourology, female urology (OAB, female incontinence, pelvic organ prolapses), Male LUTS (BPO, OAB and incontinence in male patients), chronic pelvic pain, recurrent urinary tract infections… Please, don't underestimate this subspecialty!” 🔹 What unique challenges does functional urology present that are distinctively different from those encountered in other fields of urology? Prof. Finazzi-Agrò: “I think the major challenge is that, in many cases, pathophysiology is not immediately clear and evident. Sometimes, for instance, you must also use invasive tests, like urodynamic investigations, to better evaluate your patients. You can't just use imaging and have a diagnosis and solution. You need to understand the underlying pathophysiology, then you will be able to treat your patients correctly. Luckily, the problems are functional, not tumours. It's not oncology. I mean your patients won't die from incontinence, for instance. And this is good, of course. But, on the other hand, sometimes our hospitals are full of patients with bladder cancer and prostate cancer. The space for functional urology patients in the clinics and in the operating theatres is limited, often with long waiting lists. Our patients must wait, because you must first operate on the tumours, the stones, and all the rest. So, the other challenge of this subspecialty is to find space in the hospitals and in theatres.” You can read the full interview with Prof. Finazzi-Agrò for more details on new initiatives that we can anticipate from the ESFU 👇 https://lnkd.in/eVEDgyjN

GU Oncologists are who? These extremely skilled medical professionals are committed GU oncologists in addition to being urologists. Their expertise extends beyond conventional urology, since they have specialised in the diagnosis and treatment of genitourinary system tumours. visit: oncbrothers.com Read also in comment section #guoncology #oncologistsnearme #oncologyassociates

Cystoscopies are generally safe procedures. However, they can cause pain and discomfort and can lead to urinary infections and bleeding.

This September is Urology Awareness Month, an event which highlights the wide range of conditions in urological health - and the incorrect assumptions that people can have of them. This year the theme is 'Men's Urology Health - Myths and Legends', where we will be encouraging men to talk about health, and to make sure that they act quickly if they spot any new signs!
