The Best Urology Clinics: Innovation, Experience, and Results

Urology is a key medical specialty for both men’s and women’s health, covering everything from prevention to the treatment of conditions affecting the urinary system and the male reproductive system. At Barcelona International Hospitals (BIH), we collaborate with leading centers in this field, recognized for their cutting-edge technology and highly respected professionals. Below, you will find valuable information on the importance of urology and why our institutions are considered the best urology clinics.

General Overview of Urology: Facts and Statistics

• High prevalence: It is estimated that around 50% of men over the age of 50 experience some degree of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

• Prostate cancer: One of the most common cancers in men; according to the European Association of Urology (EAU), approximately 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed during their lifetime.

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs): More frequent in women, though also significant in men. Around 60% of adult women will experience at least one UTI in their lifetime.

• Kidney stones (urolithiasis): Affect up to 10% of the global population, with a substantial recurrence risk if not followed up properly.

These figures highlight the need for early diagnosis, specialized treatment, and continuous monitoring to ensure the best quality of life for patients.
