Men’s Health

Men’s health concerns are often common, treatable, and easier to manage when addressed early. At our clinic, we provide discreet, evidence-based assessment and treatment for sexual health, prostate concerns, fertility, hormone health, and wider wellbeing, including cardiovascular and metabolic risk screening.

If you’re not sure what’s going on, we can help you make sense of symptoms, run the right tests, and put a clear plan in place.

Sexual Health & STI Screening

We offer comprehensive screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), whether you have symptoms, a specific concern, or simply want routine reassurance. Testing can be tailored to your situation and may include urine tests, blood tests, and/or swabs depending on risk and symptoms.

Reasons men book STI screening include:

  • New partner or change in partners

  • A specific exposure or concern

  • Symptoms such as discharge, pain, irritation, or rash

  • Routine screening for peace of mind

Prostate Health

Prostatitis

Prostatitis is inflammation (and sometimes infection) of the prostate gland. It can be non-bacterial or bacterial in origin. When bacterial, symptoms can be acute and may include systemic features such as fever and feeling unwell.

A significant number of men develop chronic prostatitis, where symptoms persist for over 6 months. Chronic prostatitis can overlap with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS).

Symptoms can be vague and varied because of the prostate’s position. Common presentations include:

  • Deep perineal discomfort (between the testicles and anus)

  • Lower back pain

  • Penile tip pain

  • Sensitivity in the back of the legs

  • Urinary discomfort or changes

  • Painful ejaculation or discomfort during/after sex

  • A general feeling that something is “not quite right down there.”

We’ll assess your symptoms carefully, consider infections and other causes, and recommend a targeted treatment plan.

Prostate Cancer

The prostate is a small gland involved in producing seminal fluid. It sits between the bladder and the penis, and the urethra runs through it.

It’s normal for the prostate to enlarge with age (benign prostatic hyperplasia / BPH). This can cause:

  • Urinary frequency

  • Waking at night to pass urine (nocturia)

  • Weak urinary stream

However, urinary symptoms can also occur for other reasons, including prostate cancer, which is one of the most common cancers in men. Risk increases with age, and most diagnoses occur in men aged 70+. It is also more common in men of Black African or Black Caribbean heritage, and less common in men of Asian heritage.

Symptoms that may need assessment include:

  • Nocturia (waking at night to urinate frequently)

  • Difficulty starting urination

  • Dribbling or difficulty stopping urination

  • Persistent lower back pain

If appropriate, we can discuss prostate screening and testing (e.g., PSA blood testing and clinical assessment) based on your symptoms, age, and risk profile.

Testicular Issues

Testicular symptoms should always be assessed promptly. We can help with concerns such as pain, swelling, lumps, or changes in size/shape, as well as infections and skin irritation.

Erectile Dysfunction & Premature Ejaculation

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. It can be distressing, and anxiety often worsens symptoms, but effective help is available.

Common physical causes include:

  • Narrowing of arteries supplying blood to the penis (often linked to cholesterol and vascular health)

  • Diabetes

  • Cardiovascular disease

  • Low testosterone

  • Side effects of certain medications

In many men, ED can also be psychological, including performance anxiety, stress, depression, or relationship issues.

Most men will experience occasional difficulties due to tiredness, alcohol, illness, or stress. When it becomes persistent, assessment can identify the cause and guide treatment.

Symptoms include:

  • Difficulty getting an erection

  • Difficulty maintaining an erection

We can also support men with premature ejaculation, with assessment and appropriate treatment options.

Fertility & Semen Analysis

If you’re trying for a baby, a semen analysis can help assess sperm count, movement, and quality  and guide next steps if results are abnormal.

Male Menopause (Low Testosterone)

Low testosterone can affect energy, mood, libido, body composition, and general well-being. If symptoms suggest a hormone imbalance, we can investigate and discuss suitable treatment options.

Balanitis

Balanitis is inflammation of the glans (head of the penis) and can cause redness, soreness, itching, discharge, or irritation. Causes vary (including infections and skin conditions), so treatment is best guided by an accurate diagnosis.

Genital Dermatology

Genital skin issues are common and often very treatable. We assess rashes, irritation, lumps, lesions, warts, and ongoing skin conditions, discreetly and without judgment.

Cardiovascular Screening

ED and urinary symptoms can sometimes be early indicators of wider health issues. We offer cardiovascular screening, including:

  • Risk profiling

  • Cholesterol checks

  • Blood pressure assessment

  • Relevant blood tests

Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic health can affect energy, hormones, sexual function, and long-term heart health. Screening may include:

  • Blood sugar (HbA1c)

  • Cholesterol/lipids

  • Blood pressure

  • Weight and waist measurements (where relevant)

When to Book & What to Expect

If you have persistent symptoms, a new concern, or you simply want reassurance, book an appointment. We’ll take a full history, discuss your priorities, and recommend the right tests and treatment, with clear, confidential follow-up.
