Why it’s important
Every day, millions of people flush away valuable clues about what’s happening inside their bodies. Despite its importance, many people still feel embarrassed talking about urine or urinary symptoms. As a result, symptoms are often dismissed, ignored or hidden away, delaying conversations with healthcare professionals.
That’s why we want everyone to rethink urine.
Not as waste.
As wisdom.
By recognising the value of urine, we want people get to know their bodies, act earlier, seek advice sooner and have better outcomes. Our message is clear:
Take control. Check your urine.
The Pee Checker
Urine is a useful indicator of your health and it’s important to keep an eye on what’s normal, know the warning signs and recognise when to take action.
That’s why we’re publishing ‘The Pee Checker’. It’s a quick guide that helps people know what to look for and when to take action.
Make it a habit to check your urine!
