About external patient resources
Some links on this page open information produced by organisations such as the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) or ReproductiveFacts. These are included as additional educational resources. Terminology, product availability, investigation pathways and healthcare systems may differ from Australian practice.
Information is useful.
Sometimes you need help organising your own situation.
Patient tools can help organise semen results, azoospermia, erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, previous treatment and kidney-stone decisions before a consultation.
They are educational resources only and do not diagnose a condition or automatically recommend an individual treatment.
Some problems should not wait for routine reading or an outpatient appointment
Sudden severe testicular pain
Acute testicular or scrotal pain can have time-sensitive causes and requires urgent medical assessment rather than waiting for a routine specialist appointment.
Kidney stone symptoms with fever or significant illness
Infection occurring with urinary obstruction can require urgent drainage. Fever, chills or significant deterioration with a suspected obstructed kidney requires urgent medical assessment.
An erection lasting 4 hours or longer
A prolonged erection, including after penile injection therapy, can represent priapism and requires urgent medical assessment. Do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.
Still not sure which resource applies?
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself before arranging specialist assessment. Relevant symptoms, investigations and previous treatment can be reviewed to clarify the appropriate clinical pathway.
This resource library provides general educational information only and does not replace individual medical assessment, diagnosis, informed consent or treatment advice. Investigation and management vary according to individual clinical circumstances, examination, investigations, treatment alternatives, potential benefits and risks, and patient preferences. External resources are produced by their respective organisations and may describe healthcare pathways that differ from Australian practice.
