Prostate Health

at Townsville Urology

Prostatomegaly, or enlargement of the prostate gland, is a common condition that can cause discomfort and urinary problems. Our clinic provides comprehensive diagnostic services to accurately assess the extent of prostatomegaly. We offer a range of treatment options, including medication and minimally invasive procedures, tailored to suit each patient's specific needs and health status.

At Townsville Urology, we provide specialised care for prostate cancer, ranging from early detection to advanced treatment. Our approach includes personalised treatment plans that may involve surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or a combination of these. We are committed to supporting our patients through every step of their journey, offering both medical excellence and compassionate care.

Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy that involves placing radioactive material directly into or near the prostate cancer. This targeted approach allows for high doses of radiation to be delivered to the tumour while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Our experienced radiation oncologists perform brachytherapy with precision, ensuring effective treatment with reduced side effects.

We offer a variety of non-surgical treatments for prostate conditions, including medications, hormone therapy, and advanced radiation therapy. These options are particularly beneficial for patients who may not be suitable for surgery or who prefer less invasive treatment approaches. Our team works closely with each patient to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment plan.

Our clinic is at the forefront of surgical innovation with our robotically assisted radical prostatectomy services, specialising in nerve-sparing techniques. This advanced surgical method enhances precision, flexibility, and control during the procedure, allowing for more effective cancer removal while preserving nerve function. The benefits include potentially reduced risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction, as well as a quicker recovery period.
