Urological conditions
Sadly, due to its association with
the genitals and urinating, there’s
a stigma attached to urology
that prevents people being
open about their condition.
Mary Barker, Continence Care
Nurse at Benenden Hospital,
says: “No-one really wants to talk
about their bladder problems,
but we have found that men are
more reluctant than women to
come forward, although it has got
better over the years. It’s certainly
not as taboo as it used to be.”
Urge a loved one to seek help if
they experience bladder issues
that affect their daily routine
or symptoms of an enlarged
prostate such as weak flow. Initially, they
should see their GP, who can then refer
them to a consultant if necessary.
