We provide a comprehensive range of services for the diagnosis and treatment of urological conditions and men’s health, including conditions associated with the kidney & bladder, the prostate and fertility.
As a field that requires delicate surgical skills, our team of urology specialists are trained in providing effective medical procedures for non surgical or minimally invasive treatments that can be completed within a day for quick recovery.
The kidney and bladder is responsible for filtering waste and excess fluid from the blood, eliminating them from the body through urination when the bladder is full.
Make an appointment with us if you would like a kidney & bladder evaluation or have concerns with conditions such as urinary incontinence, kidney & bladder stones or infection.
Straining to start urinating, having a weak flow of urine, or waking up frequently at night to urinate, are some of the signs associated with an enlarged prostate gland, also know as Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
If left untreated, BPH can lead to bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. Make an appointment with us if you experience any of the above symptoms.
If you have been experiencing difficulty in conceiving for some time, now’s the time to seek help with a fertility assessment and course of treatment.
Male infertility can be caused by low sperm production, abnormal sperm function of blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm.
Speak to our specialists early if you experience symptoms such as difficulty with ejaculation, difficulty maintaining an erection, small volumes of fluid ejaculated or low sexual desire.
Cystoscopy is a procedure where a flexible tube is passed down the urethra to examine the bladder and the urethra. The tube is as thick as a drinking straw, and has a small light bulb attached to the end of it. The cystoscope (tube) is flexible enough to move through the curves of the urethra. During the procedure, biopsies (samples) taken from the lining of the bladder will not cause major discomfort.

A Transrectal Ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS) is an investigation used to diagnose prostate cancer. A prostate biopsy uses transrectal ultrasound imaging to guide several small needles through the rectum wall into areas of the prostate where the doctor sees something unusual. Biopsy is then done to remove a tiny amount of tissue.

Even a one degree rise in testicular temperature can have an adverse effect on sperm production and testosterone function.

Shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is an outpatient treatment that removes kidney or ureteral stones from your body. Focused shock waves (short pulses of high energy sound waves) are transmitted through the skin to break up the stones from outside the body. As the stones absorb the energy from the shock waves, they break up and are passed out with the urine.

A vasectomy is an effective and permanent way to prevent pregnancy. It is a procedure to block sperm from reaching the semen that is ejaculated from the penis. During the procedure, the male vasa deferentia are cut and tied or sealed so as to prevent sperm from entering into the urethra. Semen still exist but it has no sperm in it. This is best for men who are certain they don’t want children. A vasectomy doesn’t have any lasting effects on sexual activity or performance.
