September Is the Urology Awareness Month

September is the Urology Awareness Month. Let's know more about the same. 

Urology conditions are often associated with a stigma. There are cases wherein one suffers from a urology issue, and still, one might choose to suffer silently instead of trying to find the suitable treatment. It is embarrassment and fear which prevent one from discussing these issues.

One might be apprehensive to discuss the issue with his doctor. At times, it might so happen that one may be apprehensive to discuss the issue with his family members as well.

It is hence very important to spread awareness about urology issues. One need not suffer unnecessarily, and one must get the required medical aid or assistance, which would enable one to get over the underlying issues.

A significant part of urology is the prostate gland and disorders afflicting the same.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer which afflicts men. A very surprising stat in this regard is that one in every eight men is diagnosed with prostate cancer.

But another stat contradicting the first one is that only 40,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. This just goes to show that a large number of people suffer from the disorder, and still choose to suffer in silence.

That is what makes the Urology Awareness Month all the more important.

Every year, the Urology Awareness Month makes us more aware about:

• Risk Factors
• Symptoms

Of urology issues which affect the people.

While the Urology Awareness Month passes, initiatives are made to educate the people on issues concerning:

• Prostate Cancer

• Swelling of the Prostate Gland, which is a condition called prostatitis.

Some other types of cancers which are rarer than prostate cancer are:

Causes and risk factors are variable for each type of cancer. But there are some symptoms of these cancers which all people should be aware of. This would make sure that one is fast to act if one comes to realize that any of the symptoms are present in his being.

 Some common risk factors which are associated with urological cancers include:

These symptoms might be reflective of some other critical medical conditions, if not urological cancers. But one must make sure that one gets in touch with a doctor as soon as one notices these symptoms.

In particular for issues relating with urology, if a disorder is diagnosed early, it is a lot easier to figure out the right course of treatment.

Let's run through some interesting facts about urology that one might otherwise not be aware of:
