3. Consult Your General Practitioner (GP)
Men experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms, reduced flow, sudden urgency, or nighttime waking should consult their NHS GP. Your GP can conduct standard baseline assessments including a Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) and a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test to ensure accurate diagnosis.
4. Red Flag Symptoms (Seek Immediate Care)
You must seek immediate urgent medical evaluation (contact NHS 111, your local GP emergency service, or A&E) if you experience:
- Blood in your urine (gross haematuria) or semen.
- Acute urinary retention (complete inability to pass urine despite a full bladder).
- High fever, chills, or sudden severe burning upon urination (symptoms of acute prostatitis or infection).
- Severe, unremitting pelvic, lower back, or bone pain.
