Men's urological and prostate health trends

Overview

Medical experts are advocating for a holistic approach to men’s urological health, emphasizing that urinary, hormonal, and sexual functions are interconnected. Research from the Brazilian Society of Urology indicates that many men over 40 only seek medical attention after symptoms appear, with a high concentration of concern focused on prostate cancer.

Projections suggest a significant global increase in prostate cancer cases and deaths by 2040. In Brazil, the National Cancer Institute estimates between 77,920 new annual cases from 2026 to 2028.

Care strategies vary by age, ranging from adolescent issues like phimosis and STI prevention to reproductive and metabolic monitoring in younger adulthood. Regarding cancer management, specialists note that advancements such as robotic surgery aim to treat the disease while preserving essential nerves for urinary control and sexual function.
