Meet the Team
Essex Urology provides a comprehensive service to all patients, offering rapid diagnosis, intervention and aftercare. We have invited a number of specialists across different fields to join the team in order to provide advice and care for patients with urological conditions. This integrated approach is ideal for patients who may require input from a variety of these specialties as part of their care pathway.
Common Conditions
Prostate
The prostate is a walnut sized gland found beneath the bladder, in front of the rectum in men. The urethra passes through the centre of the prostate gland.
As men get older, the prostate may enlarge (BPH) and cause urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency, hesitancy and getting up at night.
The prostate can also develop cancer which affects up to 1 in 8 men in the UK. Men over the age of 50 and those with a family history of prostate cancer are most at risk and early diagnosis and treatment can readily alter the course of this serious disease.
Bladder
Bladder problems can arise for a number of reasons. Common benign conditions include recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI), Painful Bladder Syndrome and Interstitial Cystitis (IC) and bladder stones.
Cancer within the bladder can present with blood in the urine and should always be investigated as a matter of urgency.
A number of simple diagnostic investigations can be performed and will put your mind at rest if these symptoms present.
Kidney
Common benign kidney conditions include stones and renal colic, kidney pain and cysts found during routine investigations.
Cancer of the kidney can present with pain and/or blood in the urine or, again, as an incidental finding during investigations for other conditions.
Investigation of kidney problems relies heavily on radiology imaging such as CT Scans and ultrasound to assist with diagnosis in advance of any operative procedures that may be required.
