Summary
Functional Urology covers a wide spectrum of urological conditions in both men and women of all ages. Patients suffering from functional urological conditions commonly experience relapses and need continuous re-evaluations. Research in this field has certainly improved diagnosis, management and prognosis of these patients but more steps have to be taken to further improve clinical outcomes.
The aim and scope of the Special Issue is to highlight advances in epidemiology, diagnosis, management and prognosis of a wide spectrum of functional urological conditions affecting patients of any age and gender. Both original research and review articles summarizing knowledge of previous 10 years on interesting topics is welcomed.
