Why Pillole di Urologia

The aim of these pages is to offer interested readers a clear explanation, in language that is easy to understand even for non-specialists, of what is normal and what is abnormal in the male and female urinary tract and in the male genital system.

The information given, although deliberately simple, is based on current, well-established and widely shared scientific knowledge, without attempting to explore in detail the complex and sophisticated mechanisms behind it.

The goal is to provide medical and scientific information in simple, understandable language, so as to promote prevention through knowledge of your own body and its functions as far as urology is concerned.

Paying careful attention to the symptoms and signs that show your body is working normally, and recognising any warning signs, is the foundation of good prevention for urological and andrological health.

What more will I find here?

Some may ask: what more will I find here compared with the many patient information resources I can find online?

The answer is that the information is filtered through the experience of someone who has worked in the field for decades.

Topics will be covered progressively in modules (the ‘pills’), chosen in various ways, partly prompted by your suggestions, and linked to one another in various ways.
