What is urology?
Urology is the area of medicine that focuses on the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system. It covers a wide range of conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder), urethra, and male reproductive organs such as the prostate, testes, and penis.
Because these systems play such an important role in overall health, urology specialists are trained in both surgical and non-surgical treatments, combining medical expertise with practical solutions to improve your quality of life.
What is a urology specialist?
A urology specialist, also known as a urologist, is a doctor who has completed advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract and male reproductive health conditions.
At The Priory Hospital, our urologists are highly experienced consultants who:
- Have extensive expertise in both outpatient care and surgical procedures
- Work closely with radiologists, oncologists, and other specialists where needed
- Are members of professional bodies such as the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS)
- Provide personalised care tailored to each patient’s medical history and lifestyle
Your consultant will take the time to listen to your concerns, explain your options clearly, and recommend the most effective treatment pathway.
What do urology doctors treat?
Urology covers a wide range of conditions in both men and women. At The Priory Hospital, our consultants can diagnose and treat:
Urinary problems
These might include frequent urination, incontinence, urinary tract infections (UTIs), painful urination, or difficulty emptying the bladder.
Kidney conditions
Kidney stones, kidney infections, or structural issues affecting kidney function can all be treated by a urologist.
Prostate problems
Common prostate problems we treat include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, or enlarged prostate), prostatitis, and prostate cancer.
Bladder conditions
For example an overactive bladder, bladder cancer, or interstitial cystitis.
Male reproductive health
Urologists are experienced in treating erectile dysfunction, infertility, testicular lumps, varicoceles, and penile conditions.
Cancers
Urologists can treat cancers affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, or testes.
Other conditions
There are many other conditions that fall under the umbrella of urology, including blood in the urine (haematuria), pelvic pain, or congenital abnormalities.
Because urology overlaps with other areas of medicine, your consultant may also work alongside gynaecologists, nephrologists, or oncologists if needed to ensure comprehensive care.
How much does a urology appointment cost at The Priory Hospital, Birmingham?
The cost of a private urology consultation at The Priory Hospital typically starts from around £200–£250 for an initial appointment. Follow-up consultations are usually priced slightly lower.
The total cost will depend on whether you need diagnostic tests (such as blood tests, ultrasound, or urine analysis) and what treatment is recommended afterwards.
Your initial consultation and any diagnostic tests will be charged separately from the cost of any treatment plan that is then recommended. If you are self-funding, our advisors will provide a clear breakdown of costs in advance, so you always know what to expect.
Private medical insurance often covers urology consultations, tests, and procedures, though this will depend on your policy, so you should speak to your insurer.
How long does a Urology appointment take?
A typical initial urology consultation at The Priory Hospital lasts around 30-45 minutes, depending on the complexity of your symptoms and whether tests are carried out during the same visit.
Follow-up appointments are usually shorter at around 20-30 minutes.
If you need diagnostic imaging or more detailed investigations, you might spend longer at the hospital at your first appointment, or you may need to come back on another day.
