Dr.Ashwin Sridhar - Urologist in London

12/11/2025

OUTSTANDING! I was diagnosed with Stage 1/2 Prostate Cancer in July 2025, all contained within the gland. I was unsure on the way forward, as I had received various contrasting suggestions from various professionals (e.g. periodic monitoring, hormone therapy, radiotherapy, prostate removal 5 years down the line, etc.). However, it was only when I went to see Dr Sridhar (Sept 2025) that the way forward became clear. He showed me that the cancer was located on the edge of the prostate, and that "monitoring" or "hormone therapy" was not going to be suitable in my case, as the cancer had only one way to go: out. This made me decide that the immediate removal of the prostate, and the cancer contained within it, was my best option going forward. Dr Sridhar carried out a "nerve sparing" prostate removal surgery 6 weeks later at the London Clinic (Oct 2025), and removed all the cancer tissues. We planned the preparation of the body (i.e. swimming and Pilates) and, coupled with his outstanding ability to spare the nerves around the prostate, I am recovering quickly (and quicker than expected). I could not have wished for a better outcome. I am cancer free and already recovered my male functions. Thank you.

Episode 6 is here!

Just had prostate surgery? Here’s when it’s safe to fly or drive again! ✈️🚗

Recovery after prostate surgery usually takes about 2–3 weeks, but before planning that trip or long drive, it’s crucial to make sure your body is truly ready. Most men can fly or travel after 4 weeks, depending on recovery progress and your doctor’s advice.

In Episode 6 of the Prostate Health Series, Dr. Ashwin Sridhar, Consultant Urologist, also sheds light on an important truth — not all prostate cancers are aggressive. Many grow slowly and can be managed with careful monitoring rather than immediate treatment.

💪 Thanks to modern medical advancements, even advanced prostate cancers have excellent survival outcomes today.

Understanding your recovery timeline and knowing when to resume daily activities can make a world of difference in your healing journey. 🌿

Prostate cancer diagnosis isn’t one-size-fits-all—today’s urologists use a sophisticated, layered approach with a variety of new and traditional tests 🧬🩺. In my latest article, I break down 17 key diagnostic tools, showing you what each test measures, how accurate it is, and where it fits in your care pathway. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll discover:

Blood Tests

Learn about the classic PSA, the more specific Free-to-Total PSA Ratio, advanced risk assessments like the Prostate Health Index (PHI) and 4Kscore, and the modern IsoPSA test. These blood tests help determine if further investigation is needed or can reduce unnecessary worry and avoid invasive procedures.

Physical and Imaging Exams

Find out how the Digital Re**al Exam (DRE) checks for hidden lumps, and explore how multiparametric MRI and high-resolution micro-ultrasound provide high-detail, non-invasive inner views of the prostate. PSMA PET scans come into play when mapping the spread of cancer or spotting recurrence.

Urine and Tissue-Based Tests

Discover innovative urine-based assays like PCA3, SelectMDx, and ExoDx, which offer non-invasive ways to assess cancer risk. When tissue confirmation is needed, get the facts about systematic TRUS biopsies, modern transperineal approaches, and high-precision MRI–ultrasound fusion biopsies that target exactly where cancer might be hiding

Genomic and Molecular Panels

Rounding out the journey, see how ConfirmMDx and genomic panels (Oncotype DX, Prolaris, Decipher) dive into genetic and molecular details, offering personalized insights that help decide between monitoring and treatment.

✨ Every step aims to balance accuracy and comfort, reducing unnecessary biopsies and overtreatment while not missing aggressive cancer. Want to be fully informed and prepared to discuss your options?
