Access expert private urology care with fast diagnosis
Urology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the urinary system and, in men, the reproductive organs.
At The Beardwood Hospital, private urology services in Blackburn provide access to experienced consultant urologists in a professional, discreet, and supportive clinical environment.
Urological symptoms can affect people of all ages and may impact your comfort, confidence, sleep, and quality of life. Symptoms such as urinary problems, pelvic pain, infections, or concerns relating to the bladder, kidneys, prostate, or male reproductive health often benefit from specialist assessment and early diagnosis.
Private urology care at The Beardwood Hospital allows you to access prompt appointments, detailed investigations, and consultant-led treatment without long waiting times. Your care is tailored to your individual symptoms, diagnosis, and long-term health needs.
The cost of an initial consultation with a urologist starts from around £200. The cost of your treatment will depend on your symptoms and condition, which treatments you are having, which consultant you choose, and other factors personal to you.
You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover.
Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR.
A urology specialist is a doctor who has completed advanced training in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the urinary system and male reproductive health.
After completing general medical training, urologists undertake further specialist clinical and surgical training to develop expertise in this area of medicine. This allows them to carry out detailed assessments, recommend appropriate investigations, and provide both medical and surgical treatment where needed.
At The Beardwood Hospital in Blackburn, you will benefit from consultant-led care supported by modern diagnostic facilities, advanced imaging technology, and a clear, professional approach focused on your individual needs.
A consultant urologist can diagnose and manage many conditions affecting the urinary tract and, for men, reproductive health.
Common conditions include:
For men, urology also commonly includes:
Urinary tract infections are particularly common and can affect any part of your urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, ureters, or urethra.
Benign prostate enlargement is a common condition affecting many men over the age of 50.
Although it is usually non-cancerous, it can lead to urinary symptoms such as increased urgency, difficulty passing urine, or reduced urinary flow. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, treatment may involve lifestyle advice, medication, or procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
You may also be referred to a urologist if you are experiencing ongoing discomfort, unexplained urinary symptoms, or concerns relating to kidney or prostate health. Early specialist assessment can help identify the cause of symptoms and support prompt treatment.
You may benefit from seeing a urologist if you are experiencing persistent urinary symptoms, discomfort, or changes that are affecting your daily life or causing concern. While some symptoms may improve on their own, others can indicate underlying conditions that require specialist assessment and treatment.
Common reasons to seek urology advice include:
Symptoms affecting the urinary system or male reproductive health can sometimes develop gradually, making them easy to ignore initially. However, early assessment can help identify the cause sooner and support more effective treatment and symptom management.
At The Beardwood Hospital in Blackburn, private urology appointments provide fast access to specialist assessment, diagnostic investigations, and personalised treatment planning in a professional and discreet environment.
Your first urology appointment is designed to help your consultant gain a full understanding of your symptoms, medical history, and overall health.
Your consultant may ask questions about:
Depending on your symptoms, a physical examination may also be carried out. This may involve examining your abdomen, bladder area, or, where appropriate, male reproductive organs.
Following your assessment, your consultant will explain whether further tests or investigations are recommended and guide you through the next steps in your care.
To help reach an accurate diagnosis, your consultant may recommend a range of diagnostic investigations, many of which are available at The Beardwood Hospital in Blackburn.
Investigations may include:
Each investigation will be explained clearly so you understand what the test involves, why it has been recommended, and how the results may guide your treatment plan.
Your first urology consultation will usually last around 30 to 45 minutes. This allows time for a detailed discussion about your symptoms, any examination that may be needed, and explanation of recommended investigations or treatment options.
Follow-up appointments are often shorter and focus on reviewing results, monitoring symptoms, or assessing how well treatment is working. Throughout your care, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns about your diagnosis or treatment plan.
