Urology addresses conditions of the kidneys, bladder, prostate and urinary tract, helping patients manage pain, infections and long-term urinary health.
A request is not a confirmed appointment — reception will call you to confirm.
Overview
Understanding urology
Urology is the branch of medicine concerned with the urinary system in both men and women, and with the male reproductive organs. It deals with everyday concerns such as burning or frequent urination, difficulty passing urine, blood in urine, kidney stones, and changes in urinary habits that come with ageing or other health conditions.
Read more about Urology
This speciality helps people of all ages, from children with congenital urinary issues to older adults dealing with prostate enlargement or bladder control problems. It also supports patients recovering from urinary infections, stone disease, or those needing ongoing monitoring for chronic urinary conditions.
Urology doctors evaluate urinary symptoms through history-taking, physical examination and relevant investigations, then guide patients on lifestyle measures, medical management or procedural options depending on what is appropriate for the individual case.
Your first visit
During a first urology visit, the doctor typically asks about your urinary symptoms, how long they have been present, and any related history such as diabetes, prior infections or family history of kidney or prostate problems. A physical examination and basic urine tests are commonly part of the initial assessment.
What else to expect
It helps to bring any previous reports such as urine tests, scans or blood work, a list of medicines you currently take, and details of past urinary or kidney problems. This allows the doctor to understand your situation more completely and plan the next steps appropriately.
Conditions
Conditions this speciality covers
General health information about some common conditions in this field — not a complete list, and not confirmation that every treatment mentioned is available at the hospital. Please speak to a doctor about your own situation.
Enlarged Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
A common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can affect urine flow in older men.
Learn more about Enlarged Prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
As men age, the prostate gland can gradually enlarge and press on the urethra, making it harder to pass urine freely. This is a very common condition and is not the same as prostate cancer, though the symptoms can sometimes overlap and need proper evaluation.
Common symptoms
Weak urine stream
Frequent night-time urination
Difficulty starting urination
Feeling of incomplete emptying
How it is assessed
Assessment generally involves discussing symptoms, a physical examination, and tests to check urine flow and prostate size.
Treatment options
Management may range from lifestyle adjustments and monitoring to medicines or procedures, depending on symptom severity.
Kidney Stones
Hard deposits that form inside the kidneys and can cause significant pain as they move through the urinary tract.
Learn more about Kidney Stones
Kidney stones develop when minerals and salts in urine crystallise, often related to low fluid intake, diet or other underlying factors. Small stones may pass unnoticed, while larger ones can cause intense pain and may need active treatment.
Common symptoms
Severe pain in the back or side
Blood in urine
Nausea or vomiting
Frequent urge to urinate
Pain radiating to the groin
How it is assessed
Diagnosis usually involves urine tests and imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan to locate and size the stone.
Treatment options
Treatment depends on stone size and location, ranging from fluids and pain relief to procedures that break up or remove the stone.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
Infections affecting any part of the urinary system, most often the bladder, causing discomfort during urination.
Learn more about Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract, leading to inflammation and irritation. They are more common in women but can affect anyone, and recurring infections may need further evaluation to identify contributing factors.
Common symptoms
Burning while urinating
Frequent urge to urinate
Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
Lower abdominal discomfort
Fever in more severe cases
How it is assessed
A urine test is typically used to confirm infection and guide appropriate management.
Treatment options
Treatment generally involves appropriate medical therapy along with advice on hydration and hygiene to prevent recurrence.
Urinary Incontinence
Involuntary leakage of urine that can affect daily life and confidence.
Learn more about Urinary Incontinence
Incontinence can arise from weakened pelvic muscles, nerve issues, prostate conditions or other causes, and is more common with ageing though it is not an inevitable part of it. It can range from occasional leakage to a complete loss of bladder control.
Common symptoms
Leakage during coughing or exertion
Sudden strong urge to urinate
Frequent small-volume urination
Night-time leakage
How it is assessed
Assessment includes a detailed history, examination and sometimes tests of bladder function.
Treatment options
Management may include pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, medicines or other options based on the underlying cause.
Blood in Urine (Haematuria)
The presence of blood in urine, which can be a sign of various urinary tract conditions and needs evaluation.
Learn more about Blood in Urine (Haematuria)
Blood in the urine may be visible or detected only on testing, and can result from infections, stones, or other conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder or prostate. It should never be ignored, as identifying the underlying cause is important.
Common symptoms
Pink, red or brown-coloured urine
Pain while urinating
Frequent urination
Flank or abdominal discomfort
How it is assessed
Evaluation usually includes urine tests, imaging and sometimes further specialised examination of the urinary tract.
Treatment options
Treatment is directed at the underlying cause once it has been identified through appropriate assessment.
