A urology consultation is the first step in treating urological conditions. Our medical team consists of qualified and experienced urologists specialising in both conservative and surgical management of prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral strictures, kidney and bladder conditions, as well as erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence and other disorders of the urogenital system.
A urology consultation typically lasts 20–30 minutes. It is recommended for all men — not only those experiencing urinary symptoms or elevated PSA levels, but also as a routine preventive check-up.
Men’s health is a topic that continues to be overlooked — particularly when it comes to regular preventive screening. Urological check-ups are one of the most important, yet frequently neglected, aspects of self-care, especially after the age of 40.
Urology check-ups make it possible to detect many conditions at an early stage, before any symptoms appear. One example is prostate cancer — one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men. In its early stages it develops without symptoms, which means it can only be reliably identified through preventive screening. Early diagnosis significantly improves the chances of successful treatment and full recovery.
A routine urology appointment can also identify benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urinary tract infections and inflammation, kidney stones, testicular cancer and erectile dysfunction. While some of these conditions may feel sensitive to discuss, ignoring them can lead to serious health complications and a reduced quality of life.
A preventive urology check-up is not only an investment in physical health — it is also an investment in peace of mind. Regular monitoring allows you to act quickly when changes occur and to avoid lengthy treatment down the line. The best approach is not to wait for the first symptoms to appear.
A urology consultation begins with a patient interview. As part of the physical examination, the doctor may perform a palpation examination (e.g. of the perineum or lower abdomen) or a digital rectal examination (DRE). The doctor may also choose to omit this examination.
Other tests that a urologist may carry out include:
- Cystoscopy — insertion of a scope into the bladder, used to diagnose bladder infections, kidney stones, bladder tumours, inflammation and changes in the mucous membrane.
- Abdominal ultrasound (USG) — assesses various conditions of the urinary system and internal organs. Used to evaluate kidney structure, identify kidney stones and detect other pathological changes such as tumours or cysts. Often also performed by a radiologist.
- Urodynamic testing — evaluates the function of the urinary system, including the bladder and urethra. Particularly useful for diagnosing urinary incontinence, frequent urination and difficulties emptying the bladder. The doctor assesses bladder capacity, bladder pressure and urine flow.
At the end of the appointment, the doctor provides recommendations and, where necessary, issues referrals for further tests — such as a prostate MRI — or for a surgical procedure.
Our team specialises in the diagnosis of urological conditions. Thanks to advanced, purpose-built urological imaging equipment, we are able to identify disorders and — based on the test results — determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
- Transperineal fusion prostate biopsyConsiderably more precise than a conventional transrectal biopsy. The procedure is performed under intravenous sedation using a transperineal (transcutaneous) approach, which radically reduces the risk of complications and ensures the highest quality histopathological material. Short intravenous sedation maximises sampling precision — the procedure is entirely painless for the patient. The combination of ultrasound and MRI imaging during the procedure represents one of the most advanced diagnostic techniques in urology today.Read more about transperineal fusion prostate biopsy →
- Multiparametric prostate MRIPerformed as part of the diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer, most commonly in response to elevated PSA levels. The scan locates any abnormal areas within the gland for transperineal fusion biopsy, and determines whether visible tumour changes are confined to the prostate. Regional lymph nodes are also assessed as part of the examination.
- PSMA-labelled positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET)Provides exceptionally accurate imaging of the local and distant extent of prostate cancer, enabling optimal therapy selection. Critically, it is sensitive even at very low PSA concentrations and is specific to prostate cancer — unlike conventional tracers.
