The urinary system is an essential part of our body fulfilling vital functions, if they are altered, can be a serious deterioration in our health. However, we see people suffering from discomfort associated with this part of your body, stop going to appropriate specialists to believe that it is not necessary and even shame.

This lack of practice is what you want to order the specialists who will attend the European Urology Week, held from 15 to 19 September. In the words of Dr. Carlos Llorente, University Hospital of Madrid Alcorcón Foundation, “is necessary to draw attention on the diseases of prostate disease, urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.”

The prostate is a glandular organ, exclusive of men, which is responsible for much of the functioning of the male reproductive system. That’s why when it is affected, there may be health problems that need solving. Dr. Llorente out three conditions that must be kept in mind: “infections of the prostate such as prostatitis, benign prostate growth and prostate cancer.”

In the first two cases, drug therapy is essential to avoid a greater evil, so you must go to the urologist as an abnormality. Otherwise, “the symptoms may worsen and require surgery,” explains the expert.

With respect to cancer, the specialist said that “in the last 15 years there has been a change in the diagnostic capability of this type of tumors.” This has made the cases increase, but, in the same way, so do the chances of cure in one of the most common cancers among men. In addition, we must add that both surgery and chemotherapy and radiotherapy have advanced so much that you will get better expectations. But as in all cancers, early diagnosis is essential, so experts recommend visiting the urologist at least once a year from age 50.
Female parent and child

In addition to urinary tract infections, common problem among females and easy solution, urinary incontinence is the most worrying urological problem. This is a small loss of urine that may have been caused by many factors and, in many cases, treatment consist of a cope.

However, many young women who are impaired his personal life and sexual be ashamed to tell your doctor about this problem. This makes it even true may be suffering depression. One thing that would prove this is that 30% of women who suffer from incontinence usually take some kind of tranquilizer. Jose Manuel Cózar, urology specialist, warns that “you need to take pills, but go to the query.”

Another case of concern to urologists, is affecting older women, because they have internalized that it is a normal problem that is inherent to aging. However, experts agree that it is treatable and can liberate women from this burden, regardless of age.

One of the quintessential issues that occupy the urologist is the erectile dysfunction. “When it comes to older patients, often think that their problem is due to his age, but this is a myth that must be banished,” explains Cózar. Indeed, this thought, coupled with a poor sex life, is what many men do not treat their condition, when it can be “the first sign of another more serious condition,” adds the expert.

However, this is not the only excuse that leads many men with ED not to go to a urologist, but social taboos mean that many live in shame with your problem without knowing that there are solutions that would allow him to live normally.

Anyway, go to the doctor about any discomfort in any of the organs of the urinary system can determine not only our health but also improve our quality of life.
