Education and Resources
Good urology decisions are rarely made in a single appointment. Most people need time to understand what a scan means, what symptoms are (and aren’t) telling them, and what to expect if treatment is recommended.
This page brings together practical, plain-English resources to help you prepare, understand your options, and navigate recovery. It is designed to support—not replace—individual medical advice.
