Expert care for your urology needs
At Greater Lancashire Hospital, we provide expert consultation and treatment for a wide range of urological conditions.
Our skilled urologists are committed to delivering personalised and effective care to address issues such as incontinence and other urinary problems.
We offer advanced procedures like flexible cystoscopy and vasectomy to diagnose and treat various conditions. Additionally, our Bladder Botox treatment helps alleviate the symptoms of an overactive bladder.
Symptoms
Urinary changes
Symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency (a strong and sudden need to urinate), nocturia (waking up at night to urinate), hesitancy (difficulty starting urination), weak urine flow, or dribbling after urination can indicate a urological issue. These symptoms may be associated with conditions like urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), or urinary tract obstruction.
Blood in urine
The presence of blood in urine, known as hematuria, should never be ignored. It can be visible to the naked eye (gross hematuria) or only detectable under a microscope (microscopic hematuria). Hematuria can be a sign of various urological conditions, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder or kidney infections, or even bladder or kidney cancer.
Erectile dysfunction or sexual problems
If you experience persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, it’s advisable to consult a urologist.
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by physical or psychological factors and may indicate underlying conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances.
Urologists can help diagnose and manage erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems.
Kidney stones
Symptoms of kidney stones can include severe pain in the back or side (known as renal colic), blood in urine, frequent urination, and urinary urgency. If you experience these symptoms, a urologist can help diagnose and provide treatment options for kidney stones.
Male infertility
Couples struggling with infertility may seek the expertise of a urologist specialising in male reproductive health. Urologists can evaluate and provide appropriate treatment for conditions that may affect fertility, such as low sperm count, abnormal sperm function, or blockages in the reproductive system
FAQs
What should I expect during my first urology consultation?
During your initial consultation, one of our Consultants will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and recommend any necessary diagnostic tests based on your symptoms and health concerns. They will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan and answer any questions you may have.
What should I wear to my urology appointment?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing to your urology appointment, as you may be asked to change into a gown for certain tests. If you have any concerns about what to wear, feel free to contact us for guidance.
Will my insurance cover the cost of cardiology services?
This depends on your insurance policy and the specific services you require. We work with a wide range of insurance providers and can help you navigate the process of determining your coverage and any associated costs.
What can I do to maintain good urological health?
To maintain good urological health, stay hydrated, practice good hygiene, empty your bladder regularly, maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, practice safe sex, limit alcohol and caffeine intake, quit smoking, manage chronic conditions, and schedule regular check-ups with your healthcare provider.
Taking these steps promotes urinary function, reduces the risk of infections and urological issues, and supports overall urological well-being.
Can I get a private urology check near me?
Yes, you can get checked privately at our hospital, located in Preston Lancashire.
Treatments we provide:
Flexible Cystoscopy
A flexible cystoscope is a thin fibre-optic tube with a camera at the end that examines the bladder and the urinary system during a cystoscopy. We offer this procedure at our private Hospital.
Vasectomy
A Vasectomy is a procedure to cut and seal the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the penis. This procedure is usually performed to prevent fathering anymore children.

Greeshma SreeMy visit to Greater Lancashire Hospital today for an ultrasound scanning appointment left me thoroughly impressed. All the three staffs, including the receptionist, were incredibly kind and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all patients. I must highlight the exceptional service provided by the receptionist, whose warmth and kindness stood out. She exemplified extraordinary care and made sure every patient felt valued and respected. Overall, the hospitality demonstrated by the staffs is a shining example of inclusion and diversity in healthcare.

Jan CraneWhat an amazing place. Staff are so kind and helpful and from the second we got there it felt the care was very personal. Mum saw Dr Dobson. Honestly can say he was the craziest, nicest Doctor I have ever met. Don't know what he is on but I could do with some of it. Thanks to all staff there for being so caring.Posted on Google
Lauren HallI met with Dr. Scholfield after being told I would be waiting 9 months to see the Cardiology Dept at the NHS. This was honestly the best thing I have ever done. I finally received a diagnosis and understanding of my condition and Dr. Scholfield was brilliant. An excellent cardiologist and takes great pride in caring for his patients. Thanks Greater Lancashire!Posted on Google
