Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause urinary problems and affect daily comfort and bladder control.
Prostatitis
Inflammation or infection of the prostate that may lead to pelvic pain, discomfort, and ongoing urinary difficulties.
Prostate cancer
A condition where abnormal cells grow in the prostate gland and may require urgent specialist care and treatment.
Elevated PSA Levels
Higher PSA levels in blood tests that may signal prostate inflammation, enlargement, or possible cancer risk.
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
Persistent pelvic discomfort linked to prostate irritation, nerve sensitivity, or long-term inflammation.
Treatments
Treatment depends on your diagnosis and symptoms. Options may include:
Lifestyle changes and monitoring
Medications to reduce prostate size or control symptoms
Antibiotics for infections
Minimally invasive procedures aimed at widening a channel in the prostate
Specialist referral for cancer treatment if required
We create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs and health goals.
Causes
Prostate conditions can develop for different reasons. The most common causes include:
Age-related hormonal changes
Bacterial infections
Changes in prostate with age
Family history of prostate cancer
Genetic predisposition of prostate cancer and ethnicity
Understanding the cause helps us choose the right treatment plan for you.
Symptoms of Prostate Conditions
Prostate problems can cause different symptoms. Some men have mild signs, while others experience more serious issues.
Who Needs a Prostate Assessment?
You may need a prostate assessment if:
- You are over 45 years old
- You have urinary symptoms
- You have a family history of prostate cancer
- You have risk factors that increase your chances of prostate cancer (such as ethnicity – Afro-Caribbean men have a higher risk)
- Your PSA levels are elevated
- You are experiencing erectile or hormonal problems
Early diagnosis improves treatment success and helps prevent complications. Even mild symptoms should be checked for peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the prostate do?
The prostate is a small gland below the bladder that produces part of your seminal fluid, that allows nourishment and motility of your sperm.
Why does the prostate cause problems passing urine?
Your prostate gland sits at the below the bladder. It’s about the size of a walnut, but has a hole in the centre like a donut through which you empty your bladder. The more the prostate grows the tighter the channel in the centre can get, affecting how you pass urine.
I’m having trouble passing urine – does that mean I have prostate cancer?
No – the most common issue is your prostate growing bigger over time making the channel inside the prostate tighter. The prostate continues to grow from the day you are born to the day you die. At 50, approximately 50% of men have difficulties passing urine due to this normal enlargement of the prostate (something called BPH or benign prostatic hypertrophy). By 80, approximately 80% of men have difficulty passing urine due to BPH.
What is PSA?
A chemical only made the prostate called prostate specific antigen. It’s a protein that stops sperm from coagulating (clumping together), which is important for fertility.
What is a normal PSA?
The ‘normal’ range changes with age to reflect the normal changes to the size and growth of the prostate over time. Accepted values by age are listed below, but the trend over time (PSA velocity), and PSA in relation to the size of your prostate (PSA density) can help understand things better.
⦁ 40–49: < 2.5 ng/mL
⦁ 50–59: < 3.5 ng/mL
⦁ 60–69: < 4.5 ng/mL
⦁ 70–79: < 6.5 ng/mL
Does a raised PSA mean I have cancer?
No – lots of things can raise your PSA including having a larger than average but normal prostate gland, a urine infection, prostate inflammation, vigorous exercise, ejaculation, and prostate stimulation.
