As men get older, it’s common to experience changes in urinary habits. In many cases, these symptoms are related to the prostate gland, which can enlarge with age.

Common prostate-related symptoms include:
Needing to pass urine more often
Getting up at night to urinate
Difficulty starting or stopping urine flow
A weak or interrupted stream
Feeling like the bladder hasn’t fully emptied

These symptoms are often caused by benign prostate enlargement, which is common and treatable. However, it’s always important to get new or persistent symptoms checked.

A men’s health review may include:
✅️ Discussion of symptoms and medical history
✅️ Urine or blood tests where appropriate
✅️ Prostate health assessment and personalised advice

Early assessment can help identify the cause of symptoms and guide the most appropriate treatment.

Thinking about booking your summer holiday? ✈️

If you’re planning a trip abroad this summer, don’t forget that some destinations — airlines, cruise companies, or travel insurers — may require a Fit to Fly assessment before you travel.

I offer Fit to Fly medical assessments to help ensure you’re safe and well enough to travel.

A Fit to Fly appointment may include:
Review of your medical history
Discussion of any recent illness or ongoing conditions
Assessment of your current fitness to travel
Completion of the required medical certificate if appropriate

This is particularly important if you have recently been ill, had surgery, are pregnant, or have a long-term health condition.

Booking early can help avoid last-minute stress before your trip.

Feeling tired all the time? It may be worth getting checked

Many people feel tired from time to time, but if fatigue is persistent and affecting your daily life, it could be a sign that something else is going on.

Feeling constantly tired can sometimes be linked to:
Iron deficiency or anaemia
Thyroid problems
Vitamin deficiencies
Poor sleep or stress
Blood sugar changes or other underlying health issues

At Dundonald Consulting Rooms, I offer a “Tired All The Time” health check, designed to help identify possible causes of ongoing fatigue.

Your appointment may include:
A detailed discussion about your symptoms and lifestyle
Blood tests to check for common medical causes of fatigue
Personalised advice and treatment where needed

If you’ve been feeling run down for weeks or months, it’s worth investigating — the right support can make a real difference to your energy and wellbeing.

Minor bumps, cuts, and scrapes are common, especially for children and active adults. Most can be managed easily at home with a few simple steps.

If you get a small cut or scrape:

Clean the wound
Rinse gently with clean water to remove dirt or debris. Mild soap around the area can also help keep it clean.

Stop the bleeding
Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or dressing for a few minutes.

Protect the wound
Apply a small amount of antiseptic or petroleum jelly and cover with a plaster or dressing to keep it clean.

Keep it clean and change the dressing
Replace the dressing daily and watch for signs of healing.

Seek medical advice if:
⚠️ The wound is deep or bleeding heavily
⚠️ There is redness, swelling, warmth, or pus
⚠️ The injury was caused by a bite or dirty object
⚠️ You’re unsure whether stitches may be needed

I can assess wounds, provide treatment, and give advice on proper healing if needed.

Breast self-examination — knowing what’s normal for you

Checking your breasts regularly can help you become familiar with how they normally look and feel, making it easier to notice any changes. Most breast changes are not serious, but it’s important to get anything unusual checked.

How to do a breast self-exam:

🪞 Look in the mirror
With your arms by your sides and then raised above your head, look for any visible changes such as dimpling of the skin, redness, swelling, or changes to the ni**le.

🖐️ Feel your breasts while lying down or in the shower
Using the flat pads of your fingers, move in small circular motions to feel the entire breast area — including the upper chest and into the armpit.

🔄 Use a pattern
Move your fingers in a consistent pattern (circular, up and down, or wedge-shaped) to make sure you cover the whole breast.

Know what to look out for
Contact your doctor if you notice:
⚠️ A new lump or thickening
⚠️ Changes in breast size or shape
⚠️ Skin dimpling or redness
⚠️ Ni**le discharge or changes in the ni**le

Breast awareness is about understanding what’s normal for you. If you ever notice a change or feel unsure, it’s always best to have it checked.

I offer confidential consultations to assess breast concerns and provide reassurance where needed.

Many people experience difficulty sleeping at some point in their lives. Insomnia can make it hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake feeling rested — and over time it can affect mood, concentration, and overall wellbeing.

Common causes include:
Stress or anxiety
Too much screen time before bed
Caffeine or alcohol, especially later in the day
Irregular sleep routines
Hormonal changes or underlying health conditions

Simple steps that may help improve sleep:
🛏️ Keep a consistent bedtime and wake-up time
🛏️ Avoid screens at least an hour before bed
🛏️ Reduce caffeine in the afternoon and evening
🛏️ Make your bedroom calm, dark and comfortable
🛏️ Try relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises or gentle stretching

If insomnia continues for several weeks or begins affecting your daily life, it may be worth seeking medical advice. Sometimes sleep problems are linked to underlying health, lifestyle, or mental health factors that can be addressed.

I offer consultations to help identify possible causes of insomnia and discuss practical ways to improve sleep.

Better sleep can make a big difference to your overall health 💙

Joint pain can make everyday activities difficult, whether it’s walking, exercising, working, or simply getting comfortable at night. When rest, physiotherapy, or simple pain relief aren’t enough, joint injections can sometimes provide effective relief.

I offer joint injections following a careful clinical assessment to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.

Joint injections may help with:
Knee pain and arthritis
Shoulder pain or frozen shoulder
Hip or ankle joint pain
Inflammation around joints or tendons

The injection works by reducing inflammation within the joint, which can help improve mobility and reduce pain.

Your appointment will include:
💉 A full assessment of your symptoms
💉 The injection procedure if suitable
💉 Advice on recovery and ongoing management

If joint pain is limiting your daily activities, it may be worth discussing whether this treatment could help.

Perimenopause is the stage leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate. It can start several years before periods stop completely, often in a woman’s 40s, though it can happen earlier for some.

Because hormone levels change during this time, many women notice new symptoms that can affect daily life.

Common symptoms include:
Hot flushes and night sweats
Sleep problems and fatigue
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Mood changes, anxiety or irritability
Weight changes
Changes in periods (heavier, lighter, or irregular)

These symptoms are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to struggle through them alone. There are effective ways to manage perimenopause, including lifestyle support, medical treatments such as HRT when appropriate, and guidance tailored to your health and symptoms.

I offer confidential consultations to discuss perimenopause and menopause care, helping you understand what’s happening and explore treatment options that work for you.
