Men’s Urology

Our healthcare professionals are dedicated to providing expert support in managing medications for urological conditions, ensuring that you receive personalised care to optimise your health.

We offer tailored advice and therapeutic recommendations, helping you navigate the complexities of medication management, side effects, and specialised treatments such as anti-androgen therapy.

We understand that urological medications, such as those for erectile dysfunction, BPH, prostate cancer, and hormone therapy, can come with side effects.

Our team works closely with you to monitor these effects and adjust treatments as necessary.

We assess your specific needs, provide alternatives when side effects arise, and ensure that any treatment plan minimises disruption to your daily life.

Our approach is personalised, considering factors such as your overall health, lifestyle, and treatment goals. We offer:

• Custom medication solutions through compounded formulations for conditions like delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction or Peyronie’s disease.
• Lifestyle guidance, including exercise and diet recommendations to help manage side effects like fatigue, weight gain, and bone loss.
• Mental health support to address emotional and psychological impacts of treatments such as anti-androgen therapy.

• Regular Monitoring: Ensure regular follow-up with your urologist to monitor medication efficacy, side effects, and overall health. This is especially important for treatments like hormonal therapy and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
• Physical Activity: Engage in regular physical exercise, especially resistance and weight-bearing exercises, to combat the potential side effects of medication such as fatigue, muscle loss, and bone density reduction.
• Dietary Adjustments: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help mitigate some side effects like weight gain, fatigue, and gastrointestinal discomfort. For men on anti-androgens or hormone therapy, foods high in calcium and vitamin D can help support bone health.
• Mental Health Support: Medications for urological conditions, particularly hormone therapies, can cause mood swings, anxiety, or depression. Access to mental health support, whether therapy or support groups, can help improve emotional well-being during treatment.
• Sexual Health Support: Addressing erectile dysfunction or changes in libido is important. Medications such as PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil) can help, but sometimes additional therapies (vacuum pumps, penile injections, or penile implants) may be required.

Sometimes, a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t enough to address your unique needs. Tailored compounded medications are an excellent option for men who need personalised treatment plans. Compounding pharmacies can create customised medications for urological issues that may not be available in standard commercial formulations.

Examples of tailored compounded treatments include:

• Compounded Erectile Dysfunction Medications: Custom formulations that combine active ingredients or change the way they enter the body, can improve effectiveness or minimise side effects.
• Topical Treatments: Medications that target localised issues like Peyronie’s disease, using compounded gels or creams that can be applied directly to the affected area.
• Low Testosterone Replacement: Testosterone creams, gels, or injections that are compounded for tailored dosage based on your unique testosterone levels.

If you feel that standard medications are not providing the desired results, we can help guide you to a compounding pharmacy to find the right solution.

Anti-androgen therapy is commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer or other conditions where reducing testosterone is necessary.

While effective, it comes with its own set of side effects that can impact both physical and emotional health.

Side Effects of Anti-Androgen Therapy:

• Decreased libido
• Erectile dysfunction
• Fatigue
• Hot flashes
• Mood swings or depression
• Bone loss (osteoporosis)

Management Strategies for Anti-Androgen Therapy:

1. Bone Health Monitoring: Men on anti-androgens are at increased risk of bone density loss. Speak to your doctor about bone health management, including calcium, vitamin D supplementation, and possibly bisphosphonates.
2. Exercise: Regular physical activity can help combat weight gain, muscle loss, and improve mood.
3. Mental Health Support: Anti-androgens can affect mood, so regular check-ins with a mental health professional may be beneficial. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and support groups can also provide valuable support.
