The prostate gland is about 4cm, the size of a walnut and lies between the bladder and the penis. Its main functions are to release fluids that are the components of semen. When the prostate gland gets infected and inflamed, it is called prostatitis. Treatment of Prostate inflammation (Prostatitis) involves an accurate and comprehensive Diagnosis of Prostate inflammation (Prostatitis) to determine the offending cause and subsequently commencing a course of targeted antibiotics.

The other conditions of that could affect the are the unusual enlargement of the prostate gland. This enlargement can either be benign or malignant. The Diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia which is a non-cancerous and benign condition is often done through a full clinical history and examination. Almost one in two men over the age of 50 have an enlarged prostate. Based on the symptoms experienced, Treatment and Management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is commenced with medications and sometimes surgical interventions. On top of this, Prostate Cancer Screening is done for men 50-75 years old with a urine test looking for PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels. A higher than normal reading is an indicator to undergo further tests such as a prostate biopsy to rule out any malignant (cancerous) conditions.

Surgical Removal of Foreskin for Adults also known as circumcision is a procedure performed for patients with recurrent foreskin redness, inflammation, pain, infection. Or most often done for tight foreskin (Phimosis).

For most males, retraction of the foreskin provides optimum exposure of the penis for cleaning and enhances hygiene. But those with Phimosis may find penile hygiene a challenge.  Medical studies have also shown that male circumcision decreases the risk of HIV (Human Immunodefiencicy Virus) transmission by more than 60%.

Circumcision is a stechless procedure done in the clinics. Under local anaesthesia, the Shang Ring will be inserted in the foreskin. The outer clamp is then applied externally. The foreskin above the ring is then removed using surgical scissors.

Redness, pain, inflammation experienced around the foreskin can be a sign of Balanitis. Diagnosis of Foreskin infection (Balanitis) is made with a careful clinical exam and necessary lab tests. It will also be important to understand other factors which may have led to the foreskin infection such as sexual health concerns or hygiene concerns.

Furthermore, some adults with a tight foreskin (phimosis) may be more prone to getting balanitis as bacteria, germs, urine may get trapped in the foreskin, especially when hygiene is harder to observe.

Treatment of Foreskin infection would typically involve a course of oral and or topical antibiotics and circumcision is also recommended if the balanitis has been recurrent due to a build-up of bacteria under the foreskin.

Pain, discomfort, stinging sensation, blood when urinating are symptoms explored during the Diagnosis of Male UTI.  It is uncommon for men to get urinary tract infections as the longer urethra in the male prevents bacteria from travelling up the tip of the penis to the urinary system. During this initial diagnosis, we would also investigate for other urological or Sexually Transmitted infections which may have led to this urinary tract infection.

The Treatment of Male UTI would then be made based on the outcome of these investigations. If it is a STI cause, more will be discussed in our STI section.

STD Symptoms such as burning, discomfort when passing urine, new rashes, boils or sores, unknown discharge, blood in the urine or sperm; all warrant an STI Screening and Diagnosis, especially if there was a new sexual encounter. STI Treatment and Management is critical, because if left untreated can lead to irreversible damage and in some cases to major organs like the heart or brain.

Blood STD testing is similar for both males and females and covers infections including HIV, Hepatitis infections, syphilis and Herpes. Anonymous HIV testing is available at our Robertson Walk clinic.

Treatment of STDs depends on the underlying infection. Treatment of HIV is also available at our clinics.
