This is a personal website. It is not a website of the hospital, the Servicio Cántabro de Salud, IDIVAL or Urología Mínimamente Invasiva, which has its own website and its own legal notice. The hospital, the Servicio Cántabro de Salud and IDIVAL do not sponsor this website or endorse its content. Opinions are personal.

4. What this website is

It provides informative and educational content on urology and explains where I see patients. This website does not answer medical questions online: it does not respond to individual cases and does not replace an assessment by your doctor. If your problem cannot wait, seek urgent medical attention.

This website does not handle appointments or payments: private practice appointments are booked directly with Urología Mínimamente Invasiva. The website does not show advertising or sponsored content.

5. Questionnaires

The questionnaires on this website (for now, the IPSS) are based on validated, published instruments. Their result is for guidance, not diagnosis, and is meant to be discussed with your doctor. They are calculated in your browser: your answers are not sent or stored (see Privacy).

The rights to these questionnaires belong to their authors and rights holders. Original sources:

6. Intellectual property

The texts, design and photographs on this website belong to its owner or are used with permission. You may quote short extracts, citing the source and linking to the page. Any other use, especially commercial use, requires prior written authorisation.

The articles and chapters cited belong to their journals and publishers. Third-party trademarks mentioned belong to their owners. The typefaces (Newsreader and IBM Plex) are used under the SIL Open Font License.

7. Liability

The content is reviewed carefully and dated, but medicine advances and information may become incomplete or out of date. The owner accepts no liability for decisions taken solely on the basis of this website, without consulting a professional. Nor does the owner guarantee that the website will always be available or free from technical errors, although reasonable measures are taken to avoid them.

8. Links to other websites

The website links to third-party websites and services (PubMed, journals, risk calculators, social networks, the Urología Mínimamente Invasiva website and WhatsApp). I do not control their content or privacy policies and am not responsible for them. If a link were to lead to unlawful or inappropriate content, I will remove it as soon as I become effectively aware of it, as provided for in Article 17 of the LSSI-CE.

9. Conflicts of interest

Declared conflicts of interest are listed in the Transparency section.

10. Applicable law and contact
