During Urology Week, our goal is to raise awareness of what urology is truly about. We aim to start relevant discussions, share experiences and educate people to regularly check their bodies for symptoms. Prevention is better than cure. Prevention can save lives.

For the first time, the EAU, with the support of Boston Scientific, has conducted an international survey to assess the general knowledge on urology. We have asked over 2,500 members of the public from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom 8 questions regarding a range of urological conditions concerning Men’s Health.

The outcome of this survey is available in various formats and be downloaded for media purposes:
