Conditions

Conditions we commonly assess

If you're unsure where to start, a GP appointment can help guide the right pathway.

Prostate symptoms / BPH

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects many men over 50, causing urinary frequency, urgency, weak flow, and nocturia.

Assessment includes symptom scoring, examination, and flow studies to guide treatment options.

Raised PSA / Prostate cancer pathway

Elevated PSA levels require careful evaluation to distinguish between benign conditions and potential malignancy.

We provide risk stratification, imaging coordination, and biopsy pathways when indicated.

Blood in urine (Haematuria)

Visible or microscopic blood in urine requires investigation to identify the underlying cause.

Causes range from benign to serious; we arrange appropriate imaging and cystoscopy as needed.

Recurrent UTIs / Bladder pain

Recurrent urinary tract infections and chronic bladder pain require specialist assessment to identify underlying causes.

We investigate structural abnormalities, infection patterns, and provide targeted treatment strategies.

Kidney and bladder stones

Urinary stones cause severe pain and can lead to infection or kidney damage if untreated.

We provide imaging, pain management, and coordinate stone removal procedures when necessary.

Testicular / Scrotal symptoms

Testicular pain, lumps, swelling, or other scrotal symptoms require prompt evaluation.

Ultrasound and clinical assessment help identify conditions ranging from benign to requiring urgent intervention.
