💙 Urology Awareness Month 💙

This Urology Awareness Month, we're helping to raise awareness of urological health and encouraging people to learn more about conditions that affect the urinary system and male reproductive organs.

Urological conditions can affect people of all ages and may include issues with the kidneys, bladder, prostate and urinary tract. Many people experience symptoms but may delay seeking help due to embarrassment or not recognising the signs.

Common symptoms that shouldn't be ignored include:

🔹 Blood in your urine
🔹 Changes in urinary habits
🔹 Pain or burning when passing urine
🔹 Frequent urinary tract infections
🔹 Difficulty emptying your bladder
🔹 Lower back, pelvic or abdominal pain

Early diagnosis and treatment can make a real difference. If you're experiencing symptoms or have concerns about your urological health, speak to a healthcare professional.

Let's help break the stigma around urological health and encourage open conversations.

1st- 30th September - Blood Cancer Awareness month

🩸 Blood Cancer Awareness Month🩸

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of blood cancer and support the thousands of people affected by it. Blood cancer often receives less attention than other cancers, so every year the blood cancer community comes together to increase understanding of the disease and its symptoms.

Blood cancer includes conditions such as leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS and MPN, and symptoms can vary depending on the type. Common symptoms can include:

🔹 Unexplained weight loss
🔹 Unexplained bruising or bleeding
🔹 Lumps or swellings
🔹 Shortness of breath
🔹 Drenching night sweats
🔹 Persistent, recurrent or severe infections
🔹 Unexplained fever (38°C or above)
🔹 Unexplained rash or itchy skin
🔹 Pain in bones, joints or the abdomen
🔹 Extreme tiredness that doesn't improve with rest
🔹 Paleness

It's important to remember that some symptoms can look different on different skin tones.

Knowing the signs could make a difference. If you have any symptoms that concern you, speak to a healthcare professional.
