Comprehensive Prostate & Men’s Health Care, Personalised to You

Conditions We Treat

Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common prostate condition in men over 50. As the prostate enlarges, it can narrow the urethra and disrupt urinary flow.

Treatment may include:

• Medication
• PAE (Prostatic Artery Embolisation)
• UroLift
• Rezum
• TURP surgery

The right treatment depends on symptom severity, prostate size, recovery priorities, and preservation of sexual function.

Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer treatment should never be one-size-fits-all.

We offer:

• Targeted biopsy
• Personalised treatment planning
• Focal therapies for selected cancers
• Surgical referral pathways where appropriate

Where possible, treatment planning prioritises preservation of urinary and sexual function alongside cancer control.

Prostatitis & Pelvic Pain
Acute and chronic prostatitis can significantly affect quality of life, yet are frequently underdiagnosed.

We evaluate:

• Acute bacterial prostatitis
• Chronic prostatitis
• Chronic pelvic pain syndrome
• Persistent pelvic discomfort without clear diagnosis

Structured treatment pathways can significantly reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Urinary Dysfunction
Not all urinary symptoms originate in the prostate.

We evaluate and treat:

• Overactive bladder
• Urinary retention
• Urinary urgency
• Incontinence
• Bladder dysfunction

Evaluation may include bladder function testing, imaging, and assessment of neurological or anatomical contributors.

Sexual Health & Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is often linked to vascular health and blood flow, and may also occur following prostate treatment.

Assessment includes:

• Vascular evaluation
• Hormonal assessment
• Prostate-related causes
• Post-treatment rehabilitation pathways

Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause rather than symptoms alone.

PSA Evaluation & Screening
A raised PSA is not a diagnosis but requires proper interpretation.

We provide:

• PSA evaluation
• Risk stratification
• Advanced prostate imaging
• Clinical assessment
• Biopsy planning where necessary

Earlier evaluation often means more treatment options and less invasive interventions.

Treatment Options

Prostatic Artery Embolisation (PAE)
A minimally invasive, image-guided procedure performed by an interventional radiologist to reduce blood supply to enlarged prostate tissue.

Key Advantages

• No surgical incision
• Usually no general anaesthetic
• Day-care or overnight procedure
• Faster recovery
• Lower risk of sexual side effects

PAE is particularly suited to men seeking a non-surgical alternative or prioritising preservation of sexual function.

UroLift
UroLift uses small implants to hold enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, relieving obstruction without cutting or removing tissue.

Benefits

• Short procedure time
• Rapid recovery
• Minimal downtime
• Lower rates of sexual side effects

Rezum
Rezum uses targeted water vapour therapy to reduce excess prostate tissue over time.

Benefits

• Minimally invasive
• No major surgery
• Short procedure duration
• Gradual symptom improvement over weeks

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
TURP remains one of the most established surgical treatments for significant urinary obstruction caused by BPH.

It provides durable symptom relief and is particularly suitable for larger prostates or more severe obstruction.

Focal Therapy
For selected localised prostate cancers, focal therapy targets the tumour while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

This can reduce side effects and preserve function more effectively than whole-gland treatment in appropriate patients.

Don’t Ignore Persistent Prostate or Urinary Symptoms

Changes in urination, pelvic discomfort, erectile dysfunction, or a raised PSA are not simply part of ageing.

When evaluated early:

• More treatment options are available
• Procedures are often less invasive
• Outcomes are typically better
• Function can be preserved more effectively

Waiting often narrows those options.

If something has been concerning you even intermittently a specialist assessment is the right first step.
