Urological diseases are common: they often cause a lot of discomfort and some can be life-threatening. It is extremely important to have reliable information on urological diseases available on the internet: consistent and high-quality information that is relevant for everybody, regardless of what language they speak or in which country they live.

The main purpose of this website is to provide reliable information on urological diseases - unbiased, comprehensive, clear. All the materials published here take into account the existing scientific evidence, the experience of medical experts and nurse practitioners, as well as the views of the patients.

This website is part of a patient information initiative run by the European Association of Urology (EAU), an independent non-profit organization which works to advance the level of urological care in Europe. Please read more about the EAU Patient Information project to better understand our ambitions and plans. You will also be able to make better use of this website, if you read the sections, that we wrote especially for the patients, medical practitioners, and urological societies.
