December Health Message: Preventive Urology Care
At YUA Yakima, we believe that good health begins with prevention. This December, we are highlighting Preventive Urology Care—an essential step in protecting your urinary and reproductive health for years to come.
Why Preventive Urology Care Matters
Urology covers the health of your kidneys, bladder, prostate, and urinary tract. Preventive care means identifying risks early, managing lifestyle factors, and scheduling regular screenings before problems become serious.
-
Early Detection Saves Lives: Conditions like prostate cancer, kidney disease, and bladder issues often show few symptoms in their early stages. Routine check-ups can catch them early.
-
Quality of Life: Preventive care helps avoid discomforts such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or incontinence.
-
Peace of Mind: Knowing you are taking proactive steps toward your health reduces stress and empowers you to live fully.
Recommended Preventive Steps
- Annual Screenings: Men over 40 should discuss prostate health screenings with their provider. Women should monitor urinary health, especially if experiencing recurrent infections.
- Hydration & Nutrition: Drinking plenty of water and limiting salt and processed foods supports kidney and bladder health.
- Lifestyle Choices: Avoid smoking, maintain a healthy weight, and stay physically active to reduce urological risks.
- Know Your Family History: Genetics can play a role in urological conditions. Share your family history with your provider.
