Urinary problems are nothing new. In fact, urinary system medicine has been around for at least 6,000 years. Today, it is estimated that 16% of men and 33% of women over the age of 40 suffer from incontinence, but very few dare to bring it up with their doctor. This episode takes us through the experiments that have enabled us to provide modern-day treatments for incontinence, urinary infections, and genital malformations. It also leads us towards the future of urology, where we will soon be able to predict prostate cancer through urine tests and eliminate erectile dysfunction by modifying genes. In the operating room, a patient undergoes an artificial urinary sphincter implant that will completely change his life.
