Understanding your concern
Symptoms are the starting point, not necessarily the diagnosis.
Similar symptoms can have very different underlying causes.
A weak urinary stream may reflect prostate obstruction, urethral narrowing or reduced bladder contraction.
Urinary frequency can result from bladder overactivity, infection or incomplete bladder emptying.
Blood in the urine can occur with stones, infection, benign disorders or cancer and should be appropriately investigated.
Specialist assessment helps identify the likely cause and decide whether further investigation or treatment is warranted.
Investigations may include
- Urine testing and culture
- Blood tests, including PSA when appropriate
- Kidney and bladder ultrasound
- CT or MRI imaging
- Urinary flow and residual measurements
- Flexible cystoscopy
- Urodynamic testing in selected circumstances
- Biopsy where clinically indicated
Not every patient requires every test. Investigations should address a relevant clinical question.
What happens next?
From initial symptoms to a clearer treatment plan.
Many patients attend with an abnormal test or persistent symptom rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
Gather existing results
Bring your referral, medication list and previous pathology, imaging or operation reports if available.
Discuss the clinical problem
Your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments and relevant test results are reviewed together.
Consider suitable options
Management may involve reassurance, monitoring, additional investigations, medication or surgery.
Please include the presenting concern, symptom duration, relevant risk factors, prior treatment and available investigation results.
GP Referral Information →When is urgent assessment needed?
Sudden severe testicular pain, inability to pass urine with significant discomfort, fever or serious illness with suspected urinary obstruction, heavy urinary bleeding with clots, severe uncontrolled pain or a sudden significant penile injury may require emergency assessment.
Attend an emergency department for urgent problems. Call 000 for a life-threatening emergency.
Routine appointment requests are not an emergency service.
Common questions
Understanding urology care.
When should I see a urologist?
Persistent urinary symptoms, blood in the urine, elevated PSA, kidney stones, abnormal imaging, testicular concerns or male fertility problems may warrant specialist assessment. Your GP can help determine urgency.
Do I need to know my diagnosis?
No. Many patients are referred because of symptoms or an abnormal investigation. Specialist assessment helps clarify the underlying cause.
Does blood in the urine mean cancer?
Not necessarily. Infection, stones and other conditions can cause haematuria. However, blood in the urine requires appropriate medical assessment.
Does an elevated PSA mean prostate cancer?
No. PSA can be influenced by benign prostate enlargement, inflammation and other factors. Results should be interpreted with the clinical history.
Do kidney stones always need surgery?
No. Some stones can be observed or may pass naturally. Treatment depends on size, location, symptoms, obstruction, infection and kidney function.
Does Southside Urology see women and men?
Yes. General adult urinary tract conditions affect both women and men. The practice also provides specialist assessment of male reproductive and genital conditions.
Will I need an operation?
Not necessarily. Many urological problems can be monitored or managed without surgery. Treatment depends on the diagnosis, severity and individual circumstances.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring your referral, medication and allergy list, relevant pathology results, scans and previous specialist reports if available.
