Prostate Specialist in Johor Bahru and Batu Pahat, Johor
Assessment and treatment of high PSA, enlarged prostate and prostate cancer by consultant urologist Dato’ Dr Azhar Amir Hamzah, at four hospitals across Johor.
The prostate is a gland about the size of a walnut that sits below the bladder in men. It often grows with age, which can slow the urine stream and wake you at night. A high PSA result or a prostate cancer diagnosis also brings many men to a urologist. Dato’ Dr Azhar assesses the cause first, then explains every option, from medicine and monitoring to surgery and focal therapy.
