Urology Awareness Month – 1 – 30 September 2025

Every September, Urology Awareness Month shines a spotlight on urology diseases.

Urology Awareness Month is observed every September to raise awareness about urological health and diseases, including conditions such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, kidney stones, and urinary incontinence. This month-long campaign aims to educate the public about the importance of urological health, encourage regular check-ups, and promote early detection of urological conditions. Organised by various health organisations and medical institutions, this initiative also seeks to advocate for increased research funding and better treatment options for urological diseases.

The origins of Urology Awareness Month highlight the need for greater public awareness of urological health. Urological diseases can affect individuals of all ages and genders, making education and awareness crucial. The campaign focuses on spreading knowledge about prevention, symptoms, and treatment options for urological conditions, helping individuals take proactive steps towards maintaining their urological health.

It also emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment, which can prevent more severe health problems later on​.

Urological diseases affect millions worldwide, yet they often remain under-discussed due to stigma or lack of awareness. Conditions like prostate cancer are among the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men. By focusing on urological health, we can promote early detection, effective treatment, and improved quality of life for those affected.

Urology Awareness Month serves as a vital platform to educate, engage, and empower individuals about urological health. Your involvement, whether through participation in events, sharing information, or supporting research, plays a crucial role in advancing the mission of The Urology Foundation.
