Many men are reluctant to visit their GP to address their health concerns. At The Wilmslow Hospital, we’ll give you a head start on the things to look out for at every stage of life, and how we can support you with them.
Testicular health
Most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 15 – 35, testicular cancer is on the rise across all ages. Early detection is key, and regularly checking for any lumps or changes at home can go a long way to improving a prognosis. If you do find anything, don’t worry – this may be a varicocele, which is a harmless cyst or swollen vein in the testicles. However, it’s still worth getting this checked by an expert, such as The Wilmslow Hospital’s Mr Aziz Gulamhusein, an expert in testicular and scrotum problems, as it can be a sign of something more serious.
Fertility issues
These can include low testosterone, issues with sperm quality or quantity, or infertility. Discussing these issues with a consultant, such as our men’s fertility experts, Mr Vaibhav Modgil and Mr Steve Bromage, can help you decide the right course of action, whether that’s lifestyle changes or medical treatments.
Erectile dysfunction
While it might feel embarrassing to talk about, erectile dysfunction is very common as a man gets older. It can severely impact quality of life and could be an early sign of cardiovascular problems. Our discreet experts can offer a range of treatments including lifestyle changes, medication or surgery.
Urinary health
Urinary tract infections, bladder dysfunction and kidney stones aren’t problems to be ignored. If you experience painful urination, blood in your urine, or have frequent urges to urinate, leaving these untreated can damage your urinary system. Our urology consultants can offer helpful treatments tailored to your needs.
Prostate health
Prostate issues usually cause frequent urination, a weak urine flow or pelvic pain. If you’re worried about something more serious like prostate cancer, early detection can be done through PSA testing, a digital rectal exam or The Wilmslow Hospital’s prostate screening clinic. Here, you’ll get a consultation with our prostate experts, including Mr Jeremy Oates and Mr Vijay Ramani, and diagnostic tests to give you a full picture of your prostate health the same day.
Expert onwards care
There are times our tests lead to a cancer diagnosis. If they do, you’ll have fast access to our sister hospital, The Christie Private Care, for the latest and most innovative treatments, including minimally invasive prostate surgery with our da Vinci Xi robotic system.
With expert care delivered by our multidisciplinary team of surgeons, radiologists and clinical nurse specialists, you can be assured you’re in the very best hands.
