Specialist urology consultations and advanced prostate treatment, including Aquablation Therapy, are now available for patients in Bristol, Bath, Somerset and the surrounding areas.
Specialist urology care now available in Bristol
Mr Jeremy Nettleton, Consultant Urological Surgeon, is now seeing patients privately at Spire Bristol Hospital, expanding access to specialist urology care for patients across Bristol, Bath, Somerset, South Gloucestershire and the wider South West.
This new practice location means patients can now access the same comprehensive urology consultation service that Mr Nettleton provides at Winfield Hospital in Gloucester and Nuffield Health Cheltenham Hospital, with the added convenience of a Bristol-based private hospital location.
Mr Nettleton has also now treated his first Aquablation patient at Spire Bristol Hospital, marking an important development for patients looking for advanced treatment options for an enlarged prostate in the Bristol area. This was the first ever Aquablation procedure to take place in Bristol.
Urological symptoms can have a significant impact on day-to-day life, confidence, sleep and overall wellbeing. Many people delay seeking help because they feel embarrassed, are unsure whether their symptoms are serious, or assume that urinary problems are simply part of getting older.
At Spire Bristol Hospital, Mr Nettleton offers private consultations for a wide range of urological symptoms and conditions, including:
- Difficulty passing urine
- A weak or slow urinary stream
- Needing to urinate frequently
- Getting up at night to pass urine
- Urgency or not being able to hold urine
- Overactive bladder symptoms
- Blood in the urine
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Prostate symptoms and prostate assessment
- Enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH
- Bladder symptoms
- Testicular or scrotal concerns
- Kidney stone symptoms
- General urology concerns
These symptoms are common, but they should not be ignored. In many cases, there are effective treatments that can improve symptoms and quality of life. A private urology consultation can help identify the cause and explain the most suitable options clearly.
For patients searching for a specialist urologist in Bristol, or those travelling from Bath, Somerset or the surrounding areas, the Bristol clinic provides another option for expert assessment, investigation and treatment.
Prostate assessment and treatment in Bristol
One of Mr Nettleton’s key areas of expertise is the assessment and treatment of prostate conditions, including enlarged prostate symptoms.
An enlarged prostate can press on the bladder and urethra, leading to urinary symptoms such as poor flow, hesitancy, urgency, frequent urination and disturbed sleep. For some men, these symptoms can be managed with lifestyle changes or medication. For others, surgical treatment may be more appropriate.
At Spire Bristol Hospital, patients can access assessment and treatment options for prostate symptoms, including surgery where clinically suitable.
Aquablation Therapy at Spire Bristol Hospital
Mr Nettleton offers Aquablation Therapy for suitable patients with enlarged prostate symptoms. Aquablation is an advanced, robot-assisted treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH.
The procedure uses image guidance and a high-pressure waterjet to remove prostate tissue that is causing urinary obstruction. It is designed to provide effective relief from urinary symptoms while helping the surgeon plan and deliver treatment with precision.
Mr Nettleton has now treated his first Aquablation patient at Spire Bristol Hospital, bringing this specialist prostate treatment option to patients looking for Aquablation in Bristol, as well as those travelling from Bath, Somerset and the wider South West.
TURP and other surgical options for enlarged prostate symptoms
Alongside Aquablation Therapy, Mr Nettleton also offers other surgical options for enlarged prostate symptoms, including TURP.
TURP, or transurethral resection of the prostate, is a well-established operation used to remove prostate tissue that is blocking the flow of urine. It may be recommended for men whose symptoms are affecting quality of life and have not improved sufficiently with medication or more conservative treatment.
The right treatment will depend on several factors, including prostate size, symptom severity, general health, personal priorities and the results of any investigations. During consultation, Mr Nettleton will discuss the available options and explain the potential benefits and risks in clear, straightforward language.
Depending on the individual patient, treatment options may include:
- Monitoring and lifestyle advice
- Medication
- Further investigations such as flow tests, scans or cystoscopy
- TURP
- Aquablation Therapy
The aim is always to recommend a treatment plan that is safe, evidence-based and tailored to the individual.
