The Urology awareness campaign was originally started by the Urology Foundation with the main aim to raise urology health awareness issues, as well as raise money to fund research and education.
September stands as a significant month dedicated to raising awareness of the urology campaign.
According to the Urology Foundation Statistics, urology diseases have affected up to fifty million individuals globally.
As a leading healthcare industry in the UK, we are using this opportunity to raise awareness about urological diseases and conditions by participating in Urology Awareness Month.
KP Live-in Services provides a wide range of personalised, flexible, and reliable care services to individuals who need our care and support.
We provide these care services to help our service users who are either affected or non-affected by urology diseases to achieve a healthy lifestyle through life-changing health tips.
Our live-in carers understand the quality of life and they are committed to delivering high-quality care to all service users.
Regarding this pressing issue, KP Live-in Services will be empowering people on the need to maintain good urinary health conditions throughout the month of September.
Here's a Comprehensive Overview of Major Urology Diseases Affecting Lives:
Urological diseases and conditions can affect anyone regardless of age and gender.
Urological conditions encompass a wide range of disorders affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
It is usually caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra.
UTIs are common amongst women due to shorter urethra.
It can lead to a persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, and pressure in the lower abdomen or back.
The urinary tract infections can be treated with antibiotics and adequate drinking of water.
Kidney Stones
Dehydration contributes to the formation of kidney stones in the body.
Kidney stones cause severe and constant body pain.
It can be treated with plenty of fluid intake.
Prostate Enlargement
BPH is common amongst older men and is associated with hormonal changes, leaving the prostate gland to enlarge.
It causes a weak urinary stream, difficulty in starting and stopping urination, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
Invasive techniques, certain medications and surgical procedures are often used to treat or reduce prostate enlargement depending on the severity of symptoms.
Bladder Disorders
Bladder disorders cause neurological conditions such as the uncontrollable urge to urinate.
Minimal symptoms of bladder disorders can be treated through lifestyle changes such as bladder training, and medications while severe symptoms are treated through advanced therapies like neuromodulation.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
ED is caused by diabetes, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, stress, and anxiety.
There is difficulty in maintaining an erection during intimate activities.
It can be treated through oral medications, lifestyle changes, psychotherapy, medical devices, or surgical interventions.
Incontinence
Incontinence leads to involuntary loss of urine, weakened pelvic muscles, and nerve damage.
There is leakage of urine when laughing, coughing, or sneezing.
Pelvic floor exercises, behavioural strategies, medications, and surgical procedures can be used to treat incontinence.
KP Live-in Services Promotes Workplace Wellness Amongst Healthcare Workers and Service Users During Urology Awareness Month
In dedication to Urology Awareness Month this September, we are committed to taking proactive steps to ensure the healthy and stable well-being of our care workers and service users.
Urology Educational Materials
We have launched an email marketing campaign and a social media campaign, enlightening care staff members and service users about the need to prioritize their urological health and increase urology awareness.
The educational wellness materials involve topics such as recognizing the impact of urological diseases in the world and issues relating to urology diseases.
Online educational materials such as new pieces have been composed to educate service users and healthcare workers about promoting their healthy habits.
Urological Consultation
On-site health consultation for care staff members is in place to detect potential issues early and encourage a proactive approach to health.
A healthcare team that encourages care staff members and service users to adopt healthy habits such as increasing water intake, practising stress-relief techniques, and incorporating regular exercise into daily routines when health screenings are being assessed.
One-on-one consultation is provided for live-in care staff to address any concerns they may have about their urological or general health matters.
KP Live-in Services believes that urological conditions are often overlooked due to the sensitive nature of the topics being involved.
By integrating urology initiatives into our company’s culture, we aim to create an environment that prioritizes both physical and emotional well-being to make a difference in the lives of those with urological conditions.
This encourages care staff and service users to seek timely medical attention when needed and to better understand the causes, symptoms, and treatments of urology-related conditions.
We encourage you to get regular check-ups with your Urologist to detect any symptoms of urological diseases and receive early treatment to reduce the chances of having severe urology outcomes.
Join us in leading the fight against urology diseases to make the world a better place.
