September is marked as Prostate Cancer Awareness month.

Urology is a super specialisation which includes the diseases of the male and female genito- urinary tract and their management.
This urinary tract of the male encloses the kidney, ureter, bladder, as well as the male reproductive system- prostate, seminal vesicles and testis.

There is a confusion on the subject of whom to consult- a urologist or a nephrologist.
Urologists deal with and treat the surgical aspect of the urogenital which affects the renal/ urinary system- such as cancers, stones in the kidney, ureter, bladder. Urologists also deal with male infertility in men and prostate diseases.
Nephrologists on the other hand deal with the medical conditions which affect the kidney and renal system such as renal nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy. Individuals who have a deranged urea/ creatinine should consult with a nephrologist.

The prostate is a small walnut shaped gland which is present between the bladder and urethra. It surrounds the urethra and produces a fluid that transfers the sperm during ejaculation.

On 09 Sep, 2023, Seniors Today hosted their weekly Health Live Webinar with Dr Prakash Sankapal who spoke on and answered questions about prostate management in seniors and dealing with prostate cancer.

Dr Prakash Sankapal is an MBBS from KIMS, Hubballi, Karnataka, and has done his MS in General Surgery. He specialised in MCh Urology from the prestigious Grant Government Medical College and Sir J J Group of Hospitals, Mumbai. He has also completed his DNB Urology.
