Heading to a long game? I’ve got five practical, research-backed tips to help you manage bladder urgency and enjoy the event. 1) Time fluids: sip steadily earlier in the day and reduce intake 1–2 hours before kickoff. 2) Plan breaks: map nearby restrooms and arrive early to scope options. 3) Quick exercises: do discreet pelvic‑floor squeezes when you feel urgency to suppress the urge. 4) Medication reminders: take or pack prescribed meds as advised by your clinician. 5) Know the red flags: new, severe pain, blood in urine, or sudden worsening of urgency deserves prompt medical attention. These steps are grounded in urology evidence and can make the game more comfortable. Learn more at https://wix.to/8Ok3c1V .

New survey: we mapped current UK practice in prostate MRI to identify variation and priorities for standardisation. Key points: universal pre-biopsy MRI; 73% use multiparametric MRI; reporting varies (PI‑RADS only 28.6%, Likert only 27.3%, both 44.1%); PI‑QUAL known but rarely used; transperineal biopsy performed at 88.5% of Trusts.

At UrologyXY we tailor treatment to the person, not just the symptom. Here are two brief, anonymized cases that show why. • An older man with a neurogenic bladder: targeted therapy and pelvic rehabilitation improved control and quality of life. • A younger man with medication-related leakage: adjusting meds and adding pelvic floor training resolved symptoms without surgery. Individualized care matters. We synthesize research into practical plans you can trust. Learn more: https://wix.to/jjqvX6c . Want guidance for a specific case? Ask us below or visit our site.
