Private urology in High Wycombe

Private urology service in High Wycombe 

If you are experiencing urinary problems, kidney issues, or concerns relating to the male or female urinary tract, The Shelburne Hospital in High Wycombe, part of Circle Health Group, offers expert private urology care.   

Issues like an enlarged prostate or inflammation (prostatitis) are common, especially in men over 50. These concerns can impact your ability to urinate by putting pressure on the bladder and urethra. Similarly, conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bladder stones can lead to uncomfortable symptoms, such as pain when passing urine or blood in the urine.

Our dedicated team of urologists at The Shelburne Hospital can thoroughly investigate these symptoms, offer a clear diagnosis, and develop a tailored treatment strategy to get you back to better health. Call or book online today.

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.   

All urologists are trained to be surgeons. However, this isn’t always the first line of treatment urologist offer, with some practising within the field without performing surgery.
