Dr. József Varga, a urologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, answers questions about the symptoms that affect many women.

Three Hangodys at Dr. Rose
Prof. László Hangody’s own father was a general surgeon, and now two of Prof. Hangody’s three sons - Dr. László Rudolf Hangody and Dr. György Márk Hangody - have become orthopedic surgeons as well.
