Prostate diagnostics
Expert care for prostate conditions

Prostate conditions we diagnose and treat include prostate cancer, enlarged prostates (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia) and prostatitis.
Advanced prostate tests and scans
Certain factors can increase your risk of prostate problems, including a family history of prostate cancer, being over 50, or being of Black ethnicity. Symptoms such as changes in urination or erectile difficulties can also be warning signs.
At East Midlands Urology, we provide rapid access to a full range of diagnostic tests, including:
PSA test
A simple blood test that measures levels of prostate-specific antigen, which can indicate prostate changes.
Ultrasound
Imaging to check the prostate and surrounding area for abnormalities.
CT scan
Detailed cross-sectional images to help identify cancer or other issues.
Multi-Parametric MRI
A specialist MRI that gives a highly detailed view of the prostate to detect abnormalities more accurately.
Biopsies
Tissue samples taken from the prostate to confirm or rule out cancer.
Blood tests
To assess general health and support diagnosis.
PET CT PSMA
An advanced scan to detect prostate cancer spread using a special tracer.
Cystoscopy
A camera test to look inside the bladder and prostate area.
Prostate cancer – symptoms and treatment
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men with one in eight men developing the disease (Prostate Cancer UK). You may be at higher risk if you’re over 50, have a family history, or of Black ethnicity.
Symptoms of prostate cancer may include:
- Raised PSA levels on a blood test
- Needing to urinate more often, especially at night
- Urgency or difficulty passing urine
- Blood in your urine or semen
- Erectile difficulties
Why early diagnosis matters
Detecting prostate cancer early gives the best chance of effective treatment. If you notice any of these symptoms, book an appointment at our Prostate Clinic in Derby or Nottingham.

Enlarged prostate (BPH) – symptoms and treatment
An enlarged prostate, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is one of the most common urological conditions. Around 80% of men over 70 are affected.
Symptoms of BPH can include:
- Frequent trips to the toilet, day or night
- Sudden urgency to urinate
- Weak or slow urine flow
- Difficulty starting urination
- In severe cases, being unable to pass urine
Treatment for an enlarged prostate
Mr. Singh offers both drug treatments and minimally invasive surgical procedures such as TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), helping patients restore normal bladder function and quality of life.
Prostatitis – symptoms and treatment
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, and while it often affects older men, it can occur at any age.
Common symptoms of prostatitis include:
- Pain or burning when passing urine
- Pelvic, lower back or genital pain
- Painful ejaculation
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever or chills
Treatment for prostatitis
In most cases, prostatitis is treated with a 4–6 week course of antibiotics and pain relief. In some cases, further specialist treatment may be recommended.
