Urology
An enlarged prostate is the commonest reason a Nigerian man over sixty stops sleeping through the night, and it is usually tolerated for years before anyone asks about it. Urology is also where embarrassment does the most damage: the problems are private, so they go unmentioned until they are urgent. Planned, priced and discreet is the whole point here.

How care works here
- 1
Assessed properly at the first visit
Flow measurement, scan and PSA where indicated, in one appointment, rather than three visits to find out what you already suspected.
- 2
A clear answer on cancer risk
Where PSA is raised, you are told what it does and does not mean, and what the next test is, before anyone talks about treatment.
- 3
Medicine tried before surgery, where it is reasonable
Many men with an enlarged prostate do well on tablets for years. Surgery is offered when it is the right answer, not as the first one.
- 4
A fixed price for the operation
Surgeon, anaesthetist, theatre, consumables and your stay in one figure, with the outlier rules published.
- 5
Discreet throughout
Appointments, results and follow-up are handled so that the only person who knows your business is you.

Questions people ask
Does an enlarged prostate mean cancer?
No. Benign enlargement is extremely common with age and is not cancer. That is exactly why it should be assessed rather than assumed either way.
Will prostate surgery affect sex?
TURP commonly causes retrograde ejaculation, meaning semen passes into the bladder. It does not usually cause erectile dysfunction. You should be told this before you consent, not after.
How soon can I go back to work after TURP?
Usually two to three weeks, with no heavy lifting for four. You go home with a catheter for a short period in most cases.
Can I use my HMO?
Yes, on plans that cover urological surgery. Prior authorisation is needed and the desk files it for you.
