Leading the fight against urology disease
1 in 2 of us will experience a urology condition in our lives. We're creating a brighter future for everyone who will be affected by urology disease.
Bladder
The bladder is a hollow, balloon-like organ in the lower abdomen that stores and collects urine. Bladder conditions are becoming more and more common. Bladder conditions include urinary tract infections (UTIs), incontinence, bladder cancer and Interstitial Cystitis.
Kidney
The kidneys are vital for good health. When a kidney is not working properly waste products such as salts can build up inside the body and cause health problems. These can become serious or even life-threatening.
Male Reproductive Organs
The male reproductive organs exist to manufacture sperm. The organs are prone to several relatively common conditions. Some, such as testicular or penile cancer, can be life-threatening. Others, such as infertility or erectile dysfunction can cause serious psychological distress and lower quality of life.
Prostate
Prostate conditions, including enlarged prostate and prostate cancer, are increasingly prevalent in the UK. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in most developed countries, including the UK. The lifetime risk of prostate cancer in men in Europe and North America is about 30%
Urology Cancers
Every year over 78,000 people across the UK are diagnosed with a urology cancer. There are five urology cancers: bladder cancer, kidney cancer, penile cancer, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
