BALTIMORE, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This June, the Urology Care Foundation (UCF), the official foundation of the American Urological Association, is urging men everywhere to streamline their health priorities by focusing on one often-overlooked area: urological health. Men’s Health Month is more than just a reminder—it's a call to action to take control of your well-being from the inside out.
Despite advances in medicine, men continue to face significant health disparities. Over 55% of men do not receive regular health screenings, and 77% are unaware of their family history regarding urological issues. Prostate cancer remains the most common urologic cancer, with over 313,780 new cases expected in 2025, and testicular cancer is the leading cancer in men aged 15–44.
“It’s so important for men out there to know that if you’re experiencing any sort of change or if something just feels off to go and see a doctor,” said Dr. Petar Bajic, director of Men’s Health at the Cleveland Clinic. “Getting to the bottom of an underlying health issue can be a time sensitive thing, and the earlier we catch it, the better the outcome will be. Ignoring symptoms can result in an underlying condition becoming less treatable. This applies to anything from high blood pressure to blood in the urine, which could be due to an underlying cancer in the urinary tract. Don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor about any new symptoms you’re experiencing.”
