One stop testes clinic
Many patients who attend this clinic will be told that there’s nothing wrong; in fact, many scrotal lumps do not require treatment of any kind. If however assessment indicates that further diagnosis or treatment is required, you can access these services privately at Spire Murrayfield Hospital simply and quickly.
Your symptoms
If you find anything unusual or have any concerns regarding your testicular health you should consult your GP in the first instance to find out more information. Typical symptoms include:
- scrotal swelling
- testicular pain
- testicular lumps
In these instances, report anything that looks or feels different to your GP as soon as possible. If they decide that you should be referred for further investigation to a specialist, whether you have private medical insurance or if you wish to self-fund, you can choose to be referred privately to the one stop testes clinic at Spire Murrayfield Hospital in Edinburgh.
All men attending our testes clinic must have a referral letter from their GP.
Our clinic
This clinic is run by Consultant Urologist Mr Roland Donat and Consultant Radiologist Dr Colin Turnbull.
Our clinic offers you a one stop approach to the diagnosis of testicular lumps and abnormalities. Prompt diagnosis means the best possible approach to treatment can be identified, planned and actioned quickly, should it be required.
During an appointment at the one stop testes clinic you will see the specialist radiologist and consultant urologist in one appointment. Should further diagnostic assessment, blood or urine tests be required, our on-site diagnostic facilities and pathology laboratory mean we can refer you and return your results quickly.
Your journey
During your one stop clinic appointment you will undergo an ultrasound scan conducted by Dr Turnbull; this will take about ten minutes. Dr Turnbull will interpret your scan and give you your results, which will then be discussed with you by Mr Donat. Mr Donat will re-examine you if he thinks it necessary, deliver an assessment of the findings from your scan and provide a diagnosis. He will also detail steps of treatments to be undertaken, if required.
The total length of this one stop appointment should be around 30 minutes; however, there may be a short waiting time between seeing Dr Turnbull and Mr Donat if the clinic is particularly busy.
