Clinical Interests

Urodynamics and female urology

Urodynamic tests are conducted to evaluate how well the bladder, sphincters and urethra hold and release urine. In addition, it could also determine if the bladder undergoes any involuntary contraction that cause leakage. Data from this diagnostic test informs the Urologist in the next steps for the most suitable treatments. Female urology looks at the health of a woman’s bladder and pelvic floor, urological problems are very common after pregnancy and may continue throughout life. However, women do not have to learn to live conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, repeated urinary tract infections. Effective treatments are available which your Urologist can inform you about.

Female Prolapse Surgery

When the muscles and ligaments in your vagina become weak the organs (including your bladder, bowel or uterus) they support may push forward or prolapse.

In addition, your vagina walls may weaken causing your vagina to fall forward toward the opening of your vagina (called vaginal vault prolapse).

Vaginal prolapse is very common in women who have had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). This is because the uterus supports the top of your vagina. Other causes include childbirth and hormonal changes in menopause. There are a number of very effective surgical options available for prolapse repair.

Urinary Tract Infection

UTI’s (urinary tract infection’s) are an infection in any part of your urinary systems which can range from kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Infections that reach the bladder are painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to your kidneys. Note that women are at a higher risk of a UTI than men. An active infection is usually treated with antibiotics but there are a number of preventative actions that can be taken to avoid future infections. Your Urologist can talk you through options that best suit you and your lifestyle.

Benign prostate enlargement (hyperplasia)

Benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is where the prostate, a small gland found near a man’s bladder, is bigger than usual. It’s not usually serious. It causes uncomfortable urinary symptoms such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. Also these symptoms are more common as men get older, usually over 50. It is not cancerous. A number of options are available to treat BPE from lifestyle to surgery. Your Urologist can advise which is best for you. Also see Urolift below.

Urolift

A revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to treating an enlarged prostate, or BPH, that lifts or holds the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra. The UroLift System is an alternative for patients looking for something other than drug therapy or more invasive surgery. This procedure is only offered by specialist Urologists such as Mr Waleed Al-Singary.

Bladder and ureteric stones

Ureteral stones and kidney stones can grow and become stuck in one or both ureters, resulting in a blockage preventing the flow of urine along the urinary tract to the bladder. Blockages can cause severe pain on the sides of your abdomen which can be intermittent. There are a number of prevention and treatment options which your Urologist can discuss with you.

Erectile dysfunction

Erection problems (impotence) are very common, particularly in men over 40. It’s usually nothing to worry about, but you should see a GP if it keeps happening. It could be the sign of a more serious problem. Erectile dysfunction is when males frequently are not able to keep or get an erection this may arise by stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol. If it happens often then it could be caused due to physical or emotional problems. Your Urologist can assist you in deciding the best course of action if you are experience difficulties.

Vasectomy and vasectomy reversal

Vasectomy is a male sterilisation procedure which involves surgically cutting or sealing the tubes that carry a man’s sperm, resulting in permanently prevention of future pregnancy. The procedure is usually conducted under local anaesthetic (you are awake), is pain free and takes approximately 20 minutes. Vasectomy reversal is undoing vasectomy, which is done by reconnecting each tube that carries sperm from the testicle into the semen.
