Our Services

Specialist urological care using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. A GP referral is required for Medicare rebates.

Kidney Conditions & Kidney Stones

Kidney stones affect up to one in ten Australians and are one of the most common reasons for urological referral. North Urology offers the full spectrum of modern stone management — from conservative treatment and metabolic evaluation through to complex minimally invasive surgery — with a focus on rapid recovery and preventing recurrence.

We also assess and manage other kidney conditions including renal masses, hydronephrosis, and recurrent urinary tract infections arising from structural abnormalities. Early investigation is important to protect long-term kidney function.

Severe flank, side, or back pain
Haematuria (blood in the urine)
Nausea and vomiting with pain
Frequent or painful urination
Recurrent kidney infections

GP Referral: Please bring any relevant imaging (CT KUB, ultrasound, IVP) and pathology results to your first appointment.

Prostate Health

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men. North Urology provides a complete, evidence-based service — from initial PSA screening and multiparametric MRI through to prostate biopsy, active surveillance, surgical management, and long-term follow-up care.

We also manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and elevated PSA findings. Our approach is tailored to each patient's age, risk profile, and personal preferences, and follows current USANZ and Cancer Council Australia clinical guidelines.

GP Referral: Please bring your most recent PSA results, any prior prostate biopsy reports, and relevant imaging to your consultation.

Haematuria (Blood in the Urine)

Haematuria — blood in the urine — is always clinically significant and should be investigated promptly. It may be visible (frank haematuria) or detected only on urine testing (microscopic haematuria). While many causes are benign, haematuria can be the first and only sign of bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma, or upper tract urothelial tumour.

At North Urology we conduct a structured haematuria work-up to identify the underlying cause and ensure no significant pathology is overlooked. Investigation is thorough, timely, and guided by current Australian best-practice guidelines.

Visible blood or pink/red colouration in urine
Blood detected on urine dipstick or microscopy
Clots in the urine
Painless haematuria (particularly in smokers)
Abnormal urine cytology report
Recurrent unexplained urinary tract infections
Flexible Cystoscopy CT Urogram Urine Cytology Renal Ultrasound TURBT (Bladder Tumour Resection) Surveillance Cystoscopy
Urgent Referral: Frank (visible) haematuria requires urgent investigation. Please ask your GP to send an urgent referral. Bring all recent urine results and imaging to your appointment.

Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence affects millions of Australians and can profoundly impact confidence, daily activities, and quality of life. It is not an inevitable part of ageing — it is highly treatable. North Urology offers a full range of evidence-based treatments, from pelvic floor physiotherapy and bladder retraining through to minimally invasive surgery.

We manage all types of incontinence including stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urgency incontinence / overactive bladder (OAB), mixed incontinence, post-prostatectomy incontinence in men, and overflow incontinence. Treatment is tailored to the type, severity, and the individual patient's goals.

Leakage with coughing, sneezing, or exercise
Sudden, strong urge to urinate
Frequent trips to the toilet day and night
Inability to reach the toilet in time
Post-prostatectomy urinary leakage
Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
Urodynamic Assessment Bladder Retraining Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Referral Mid-Urethral Sling (MUS) Bulking Agents Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) Botulinum Toxin Bladder Injections Sacral Neuromodulation
GP Referral: Please bring a bladder diary if your GP has provided one, along with any prior urology reports or previous incontinence treatment history.

Bladder Conditions

North Urology manages the full spectrum of bladder disorders with a thorough diagnostic approach and access to all current treatment modalities. Conditions treated include bladder cancer, overactive bladder (OAB), interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome, vesicoureteric reflux, bladder diverticula, and neurogenic bladder.

We work closely with oncology, gynaecology, and colorectal colleagues where complex multi-disciplinary care is required. Bladder cancer surveillance is an important part of our service — regular cystoscopy follow-up is coordinated in line with USANZ and international guidelines.

Recurrent urinary tract infections
Chronic pelvic pain or bladder pressure
Urinary frequency and urgency
Haematuria (blood in urine)
Difficulty emptying the bladder
Bladder cancer surveillance follow-up
Flexible & Rigid Cystoscopy TURBT (Bladder Tumour Resection) Intravesical BCG / Chemotherapy Radical Cystectomy Botulinum Toxin Injection Hydrodistension Sacral Neuromodulation
GP Referral: Please bring any recent cystoscopy reports, biopsy results, urine cultures, or imaging. Urgent referral is recommended for suspected bladder cancer.

Vasectomy

Vasectomy is one of the most effective permanent contraceptive methods available, with a failure rate of less than 1 in 2,000. It is a minor day-procedure performed under local anaesthesia with optional sedation. North Urology uses the no-scalpel technique, which reduces the risk of bleeding, infection, and post-operative discomfort compared with conventional methods.

We provide thorough pre-procedure counselling to ensure patients have realistic expectations and are making a fully informed decision. Post-vasectomy semen analysis is arranged at 12 weeks to confirm technical success.

Permanent contraception desired
Family complete — both partners in agreement
Preference for surgical over long-term hormonal methods
Partner unable or unwilling to undergo tubal ligation
No-Scalpel Vasectomy Local Anaesthesia + Optional Sedation Day Procedure Pre-Procedure Counselling Post-Vasectomy Semen Analysis
GP Referral: A GP referral is required for Medicare rebate. Most men return to desk work within 2–3 days and resume physical activity after 1–2 weeks. Vasectomy does not affect hormone levels, sexual function, or libido.

Penile & Scrotal Surgery

North Urology manages a broad range of penile and scrotal conditions with sensitivity, discretion, and surgical expertise. Many of these conditions cause significant anxiety and impact quality of life — we encourage early consultation so effective, evidence-based treatment can be offered promptly.

Conditions treated include Peyronie's disease (penile curvature), phimosis and paraphimosis, hydrocele, epididymal cyst, orchidopexy for undescended testis, testicular torsion (surgical emergency), testicular tumours, varicocele, and erectile dysfunction where surgical management is indicated.

Penile curvature or painful erections (Peyronie's disease)
Tight foreskin (phimosis or paraphimosis)
Scrotal swelling, lump, or heaviness
Testicular pain (acute or chronic)
Suspected testicular tumour
Undescended testis in children or adults
Erectile dysfunction requiring surgical management
Circumcision / Prepuceplasty Hydrocelectomy Epididymal Cyst Excision Varicocelectomy Orchidopexy Orchidectomy (Testicular Tumour) Penile Implant (Inflatable Prosthesis) Peyronie's Disease Surgery
Emergency: Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency — sudden severe testicular pain requires immediate assessment at your nearest emergency department. For all other conditions, a GP referral is needed for Medicare rebates.

Complex Urethral Surgery

Urethral stricture disease and reconstructive urethral challenges require specialist surgical expertise. North Urology has extensive experience in the assessment and surgical management of complex urethral disease, using modern reconstructive techniques that prioritise long-term functional outcomes and quality of life.

Urethral stricture in men is often under-recognised — its symptoms can easily mimic other voiding conditions. Accurate diagnosis using uroflowmetry, retrograde urethrogram (RUG), and cystoscopy is essential before selecting the most appropriate treatment. Patients referred for a second opinion on previously failed urethral procedures are always welcome.

Slow, weak, or obstructed urinary stream
Urinary retention or incomplete emptying
Spraying or split urinary stream
Recurrent urinary tract infections
History of urethral trauma, catheterisation, or STI
Failed previous urethral dilatation or urethrotomy
Retrograde Urethrogram (RUG) Uroflowmetry & Post-Void Residual Direct Vision Internal Urethrotomy (DVIU) Anastomotic Urethroplasty Buccal Mucosal Graft Urethroplasty Urethral Dilatation Suprapubic Catheter Insertion
GP Referral: Please bring all prior urology reports, cystoscopy findings, and any urethral imaging. Second-opinion referrals for failed urethral treatments are welcome.

Voiding Difficulties, Symptoms & Urodynamics

Voiding dysfunction — difficulty starting, maintaining, or completing urination — is a common but often complex urological presentation. Symptoms may arise from bladder outlet obstruction, impaired bladder contractility, neurological conditions, or a combination of factors. Accurate diagnosis before starting treatment is essential, and urodynamic testing plays a central role in understanding what is actually happening during bladder filling and emptying.

North Urology offers a full urodynamic assessment service, including uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, filling cystometry, and pressure-flow studies. Results are interpreted in clinical context to guide the most appropriate and targeted management plan for each patient.

Slow, weak, or interrupted urinary stream
Hesitancy or straining to initiate voiding
Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
Double voiding or prolonged voiding time
Acute or chronic urinary retention
Mixed storage and voiding symptoms
Uroflowmetry Post-Void Residual (PVR) Filling Cystometry Pressure-Flow Urodynamics Video Urodynamics Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterisation (CISC) Alpha-Blocker Therapy TURP / Endoscopic BPH Surgery Suprapubic Catheter Management
GP Referral: Please include any bladder diary, prior flow rate results, and relevant medications (particularly anticholinergics or alpha-blockers). Patients with neurological conditions affecting the bladder are welcome.
