About the program "Urological diagnostics"
Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men. In 35-50% cases, the disease proceeds for a long time without any symptoms. If diagnosed early, prostate cancer can be cured completely. Men over the age of 40 are at higher risk. However, not only the danger of prostate cancer lies in wait for men of this age.
After 40 years, hormonal changes begin in the body of a man, the sex hormone testosterone decreases, which can lead to poor health, apathy, depression, disability, weakening of sexual desire, as well as to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. Regular preventive examinations can prevent this danger. As part of the proposed urological diagnostics, possible pathologies of the kidneys, bladder and reproductive system, prostate adenoma can also be identified.
We guarantee an attentive and delicate attitude to your problems and complete anonymity during the passage of the Urological Diagnostics program.
