Urology Testing & Diagnosis at Prince Court Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective urology treatment. Whether you’re experiencing urinary symptoms, planning a prostate cancer screening, or monitoring an existing condition, timely testing plays a vital role in your care journey.
At Prince Court Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Dr. Roger offers a range of diagnostic services — from routine urine tests and ultrasound imaging to precision point prostate biopsy — all carefully selected to support early detection, reduce uncertainty, and guide personalised treatment planning for each patient.
Key Diagnostic Services
Dr. Roger provides a range of diagnostic and screening services to support accurate evaluation and early detection of urological conditions. These include urine and blood tests, bladder and kidney ultrasound, urodynamic studies, and PrecisionPoint prostate biopsy.
Each test is chosen based on your symptoms and clinical needs, with the goal of guiding safe, effective treatment for conditions such as urinary tract infections, prostate enlargement, incontinence, and bladder dysfunction.
Urine Tests (UFEME, Culture, Cytology)
Used to detect infection, inflammation, or abnormal cells. Often the first diagnostic step for urinary symptoms such as blood in urine, pain, or frequent urination in adults.
PSA & Hormone Testing
Blood tests for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and hormone levels help assess risk of prostate cancer, monitor prostate enlargement (BPH), and investigate urinary or sexual health symptoms in men.
Ultrasound KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder)
Non-invasive imaging to check for kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction, bladder wall abnormalities, or residual urine volume. Useful for diagnosing both acute and chronic urinary issues.
Bladder Ultrasound (Post-Void Residual Scan)
Measures how much urine remains in the bladder after urination — often used for evaluating urinary retention, incontinence, or weak bladder function in men and women.
Uroflowmetry (Urine Flow Test)
A quick, non-invasive test that measures urine flow rate and volume to assess bladder outlet obstruction, weak stream, or prostate-related voiding dysfunction.
Flexible Cystoscopy
An in-clinic procedure using a thin scope to directly visualise the bladder and urethra. Commonly used to investigate hematuria, recurrent UTIs, or abnormal voiding symptoms.
Prostate Biopsy (PrecisionPoint™ System)
A transperineal biopsy technique that improves accuracy and reduces infection risk. Recommended for evaluating abnormal PSA results or suspicious areas seen on prostate MRI.
Prostate MRI
Multiparametric MRI to detect and characterise prostate lesions. Helps guide biopsy decisions and reduce unnecessary procedures in selected patients with elevated PSA.
Metabolic Workup for Recurrent Stones
This workup includes stone analysis (if a sample is available) and 24-hour urine testing to measure key substances like calcium, oxalate, uric acid, and citrate. Blood tests may also be done to check for underlying metabolic issues. These tests help uncover the cause of recurrent kidney stones and guide prevention strategies tailored to each patient in Kuala Lumpur.
Diagnostic & Screening – Frequently Asked Questions
1. What should I expect during a urine test?
A clean-catch sample is collected and analysed for signs of infection, blood, or abnormal cells. Further testing may be recommended depending on the results.
2. Is PSA screening necessary?
PSA screening helps detect prostate cancer early, especially in men over 50 or with family history. It’s not perfect, but can guide next steps such as MRI or biopsy if elevated.
3. What does a high post-void residual mean?
If too much urine remains in the bladder after urinating, it may indicate obstruction (e.g. enlarged prostate), weak bladder, or nerve-related dysfunction.
4. Is cystoscopy painful?
Flexible cystoscopy is usually done under anaesthetic gel and is well tolerated. You may feel a brief burning or urgency afterward, which resolves quickly.
5. Do I need a biopsy if my PSA is high?
Not always. Your doctor may recommend repeating the PSA, ordering a prostate MRI, or proceeding to biopsy depending on your overall risk profile.
6. How is a prostate biopsy done using the PrecisionPoint™ system?
The PrecisionPoint™ biopsy is a safer transperineal method that improves cancer detection while reducing infection risk. It’s done under local or general anaesthesia and recommended for patients with raised PSA or abnormal MRI findings.
7. When should I see a urologist for diagnostic testing?
If you experience persistent urinary symptoms (e.g., pain, urgency, incontinence, blood in urine), or you’re due for prostate or kidney screening, it’s best to consult a urologist for evaluation and personalised testing.
8. Are these tests painful or invasive?
Most tests — like urine analysis, blood work, ultrasound, and uroflowmetry — are non-invasive. For procedures like cystoscopy or biopsy, local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort.
