Mr Torath Ameen, Consultant Urological Surgeon at HCA Healthcare UK’s The Wellington Hospital, explains when it’s time for you to seek expert advice
Many men accept urinary symptoms as an inevitable part of getting older. Frequent trips to the toilet, getting up several times during the night, a weak urine stream or feeling that the bladder never fully empties are often dismissed as a normal part of ageing. However, these symptoms can have a significant impact on your quality of life, affecting your sleep, work, travel and confidence. They may also be a sign of an underlying condition that we can often treat effectively. As a Consultant Urological Surgeon, I see men every week who have been putting up with symptoms for months, or even years, before seeking advice. Recognising the warning signs and understanding when to seek specialist advice can make a significant difference to your long-term health.
Common symptoms in men You should seek specialist advice if you experience any of the following symptoms: • Frequent urination, particularly at night • A weak or slow urinary stream • Difficulty starting urination •A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying • Urgency to reach the toilet • Recurrent urinary tract infections • Blood in the urine • Pain from kidney stones or recurrent stone disease
“i thought it was just a part of getting older” “This is one of the most common things I hear from patients,” says Mr Ameen. “While urinary symptoms do become more common with age,

that doesn’t mean you should simply accept them. Many men become so used to adapting their lives around their symptoms that they don’t realise how much of an impact they are having. “I regularly see men who have started planning car journeys around toilet stops, avoiding evenings out because they’re concerned about access to facilities, or accepting interrupted sleep night after night. Over time, these changes can take a real toll on your quality of life.”
Understanding the enlarged prostate The prostate naturally enlarges with age. As it grows, it can press against your urethra, restricting the flow of urine and leading to uncomfortable symptoms. Although not cancerous, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) can have a major impact on your everyday life, particularly when your sleep is repeatedly interrupted by the need to urinate. An enlarged prostate develops gradually, which means many men fail to notice how much their symptoms have progressed. What starts as getting up once during the night may eventually become multiple disruptions to sleep. If you think you may have BPH, it’s important that you see your GP or a urology specialist as soon as possible.
What happens when you see a urologist? Some men delay seeking help because they’re unsure what a consultation will involve. Every

consultation is confidential and your chosen specialist will spend time discussing your symptoms so they can understand how they’re affecting your daily life. They’ll also ask about your medical history and any concerns you may have. Depending on your symptoms, your consultant may recommend tests such as urine analysis, blood tests, ultrasound imaging or urinary flow studies. These investigations help your specialist build a clearer picture of what’s happening and guide decisions about your treatment.
A personalised approach to treatment “Every patient is different, which is why careful assessment is so important,” explains Mr Ameen. “Treatment does not always mean surgery. Many men benefit from lifestyle changes, medication or active monitoring. “For others, minimally invasive procedures may provide effective and longer-lasting symptom relief. The most appropriate approach is always tailored to the individual.”
Robotic treatment for enlarged prostate - Aquablation therapy Aquablation therapy is a minimally invasive procedure
These advanced imaging techniques allow us to tailor the treatment to each patient’s unique anatomy, precisely targeting the tissue that’s causing symptoms while protecting the surrounding structures. Aquablation has a number of potential benefits. These include: • Effective symptom relief • Preservation of continence • Shorter recovery times compared to other treatments • Preserving aspects of health that are important to family life
