Urology, Prostate Cancer and Appointment FAQs

Find clear answers to common questions about seeing a urology specialist in London, prostate cancer assessment and treatment, robotic prostate surgery, and arranging a consultation with healthXY. For urgent symptoms or concerns, seek appropriate urgent medical advice rather than waiting for a routine appointment.

Appointments and Access

You can request a consultation through healthXY's booking form, by telephone, or by email. We will confirm the most appropriate consultant, appointment format, location and available time. Book a consultation.

Bring or send relevant GP letters, hospital correspondence, imaging reports, blood-test results, medication lists and insurance authorisation details so your consultant can review your case efficiently.

Fees and Billing

An initial outpatient consultation is £330.00 and a follow-up consultation is £220.00. These fees are reviewed periodically, and you will be informed in advance of any change where appropriate.

No. Cancellation fees are generally not covered by private medical insurers and will be invoiced directly to you

Prostate Cancer

A raised PSA does not diagnose prostate cancer on its own. A specialist will consider your PSA trend, symptoms, examination, family history and risk factors, and may recommend repeat testing, prostate MRI or biopsy where appropriate.

Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy may suit some men with localised, surgically suitable prostate cancer, depending on cancer characteristics, imaging, health and treatment preferences.

Symptoms needing Assessment

Visible blood in the urine (haematuria) should be assessed promptly, even if painless or a one-off occurrence, as causes range from infection and stones to bladder, kidney or prostate conditions.

Sudden, severe testicular or scrotal pain, especially with swelling, nausea or vomiting, needs urgent same-day assessment, as testicular torsion is time-critical.

Tests and Treatment

Depending on the problem, tests may include urine and blood tests (including PSA), ultrasound, CT, MRI, flexible cystoscopy or biopsy, with the rationale explained for each.

Following consultation and any tests, you should receive clear recommendations on diagnosis, options, benefits, risks and next steps—ask for a written summary if you would like one for your records or GP.
