For over eighty years, the Canadian Urological Association (CUA) has helped develop urology practices in Canada. With such a vast history, which is readily observed in the CUA Historic Archives, it’s easy to see why urologists around the world look for guidance from the CUA. Through guidelines, educational tools, and patient resources, the CUA has helped countless clinicians in delivering high-quality urological care.

In recognition of Bladder Health Awareness Month in November, we turn to the CUA for insights into current clinical guidance on bladder health. The following rundown highlights key recommendations and statements from the CUA regarding bladder health management.
