Private Urology in Swindon

Understanding Urology

Caring for Your Bladder and Prostate Health

Urology is the area of healthcare that focuses on conditions affecting your bladder and prostate. The prostate is a small gland that helps produce the fluid in semen. It’s common for men over 50 to experience prostate issues, such as:

Prostate enlargement, which can press on the bladder and urethra (the tube that carries urine out of your body), making it harder to urinate.
Prostatitis, which is inflammation of the prostate and can cause discomfort or pain.
Bladder problems can also affect how you urinate. If you have a urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder stones, you might notice pain when urinating or even blood in your urine.

We’re proud to offer access to experienced urology specialists who are here to support your health. They’ll listen to your concerns, carry out any necessary tests, and guide you through treatment options to help you feel better and stay well.

At The Ridgeway Hospital in Wroughton, our experienced urology Consultants offer expert care for a wide range of bladder and prostate conditions. Some of the most common issues we help treat include:

Vasectomy Reversal

If you’ve previously had a vasectomy and are considering reversing the procedure, our specialists can assess your suitability. A vasectomy reversal involves reconnecting the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles, potentially restoring fertility.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

UTIs are often caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract and can lead to discomfort, such as a burning sensation when urinating or frequent urges to urinate. We may recommend a cystoscopy to investigate recurring infections and determine the best course of treatment.

Benign Prostate Enlargement (BPE)

An enlarged prostate can make it difficult to urinate or cause a frequent need to go. Our team may suggest a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.

Urethral Stricture

This condition involves narrowing of the urethra, which can restrict urine flow and lead to repeated infections. A urethrotomy may be performed to widen the urethra and restore normal function.

Our urology team at The Ridgeway Hospital is committed to providing personalised care, from diagnosis through to treatment, in a comfortable and supportive environment.

At The Ridgeway Hospital in Wroughton, part of Circle Health Group, our specialist Consultants are here to support you with expert care for bladder and prostate concerns. They will take the time to understand your symptoms and carry out any necessary diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause. If further investigations or treatments are required, your Consultant will explain everything clearly, ensuring you feel informed and confident about your next steps.
