The American Urological Association (AUA) reports that there are only about 1,000 female urologists practicing in the United States. That’s out of nearly 3,800 male urologists in the country, and while their number is growing, they are still significantly outnumbered by their male counterparts. Here are just four of the current female urologists making strides in the field and finding solutions to some of the most common urology issues affecting men and women today.
Women make up over 50% of patients seeking urological care:
In recent years, the number of woman urologists has increased dramatically. Today, women make up over 50% of patients seeking urological care. This is due, in part, to the fact that women are more likely than men to experience urinary tract infections and other common urological problems. The increase in the number of woman urologists has also been spurred by the growing awareness of gender disparities in healthcare. Studies have shown that women are less likely than men to receive prompt and effective treatment for their urological problems. As a result, many women are turning to female urologists for care. Female urologists are uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive and compassionate care for their patients.
Women's health is an important part of practicing 21st-century medicine:
As we continue to practice 21st-century medicine, it is important that we do not forget about women's health. Women have unique health needs that must be addressed in order for them to live happy and healthy lives. That's why it's so important to have woman urologists on staff who can provide the care that women need.
