Every man’s urinary symptoms are different, so it is important to take an individual and holistic approach to treatment. Mr James will take the time to explore your concerns and take you through all the options available. If surgery is proposed, Mr James is an expert in minimally invasive treatments, such as Greenlight Laser Prostatectomy.
Prostatitis is a nasty problem that can be severely detrimental to a man’s quality of life. We do not know what causes it, but it can happen to any man. Irritation when passing urine, or ejaculating, can be part of a troublesome constellation of symptoms on a background of chronic pelvic pain.
It can be a very difficult condition to treat, but Mr James will guide you through both the medical, and psychological components of this condition.
Prostate Cancer, and the concerns surrounding it’s diagnosis, can affect your life and the lives of your loved ones in so many ways.
As the lead clinician for his local cancer multidisciplinary team, Mr James is well aware of the burden his patients and their families face, especially when they have worries about cancer. He will guide you through the diagnostic process, and ensure that you get the correct care from specialist colleagues.
Recurrent urinary infection, and overactive bladder symptoms can lead to significant distress and embarrassment. More often than not, these conditions are over medicalised and poorly treated, leading to inappropriate antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance.
Mr James will listen to your concerns and collaborate with you to find a regime that will help your symptoms, and reduce the risk of infection for good.
Visible blood in your urine can be the herald of bladder cancer. Although the diagnosis is alarming, the majority of patients with bladder cancer will need nothing more than close monitoring with cystoscopy, and dealing promptly with recurrences.
Mr James helped to bring Transurethral Laser Ablation to Ashford & St. Peter’s, a novel method of controlling bladder cancer without the need for general anaesthetic. The work he and his team have done on this treatment has brought international acclaim, as well as several publications.
The pain and discomfort coming from kidney stones leads to an inability to work, drive, or go on holiday safely. More often than not, this can be resolved with a short general anaesthetic procedure called ureteroscopy, which only takes around 30 minutes.
If you have been diagnosed with kidney stones, or are concerned that you may have them, give Mr James and his team a call to arrange a consultation.
Mr James is proficient in all matters regarding the urinary tract of both men and women, as well as problems with male genitalia. If you have an issue that you wish to discuss with him, please give his team a call.
