GENERAL UROLOGY
Dr Thompson is a fully qualified urologist caring for men and women with all types of urologic problems including prostate / bladder/ kidney/ testicular/ penile cancer, urinary symptoms, prostate enlargement and prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, vasectomy, infertility, incontinence, urinary infections and Peyronie’s.
PROSTATE CANCER
1 in 6 Australian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Most are curable if detected at an early stage by PSA and MRI. Treatment via robotic surgery, radiotherapy or focal therapy is usually curative if delivered at the right time.
BLADDER CANCER
Bladder cancer can develop in men or women of any age. Most are curable via cystoscopy (a camera into the bladder). Sometimes further chemotherapy into the bladder or removal of the entire bladder and creation of a new bladder is required to ensure cure.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery has replaced open surgery as the gold standard to cure prostate, bladder and kidney cancer. Benefits include quicker recovery, less complications, less incontinence and better sexual outcomes.
“Dr Thompson has special expertise in robotic surgery and cutting-edge, minimally-invasive treatment techniques for prostate and bladder conditions”
BLOOD IN THE URINE
Blood in the urine may be visible to the naked eye or only under the microscope. It requires evaluation by a urologist as it may occur for many reasons such as infection, stones, Inflammation, benign prostate enlargement or occasionally cancers of the kidney, bladder or prostate.
PSA SCREENING
Prostate cancer is common, affecting 1 in 6 Australian men. It is a silent killer, meaning it doesn’t cause symptoms until it is incurable. Therefore, men should consider screening with a PSA blood test, 2nd yearly from age 50yo. This allows prostate cancer to be detected whilst it is still curable.
