What brings you here?
Choose what is bothering you. You will see how it is handled before you even book.
Erectile dysfunction: there are solutions
After a discreet assessment, treatment is tailored to you: oral medication, injections, shockwave therapy, PRP, hormone treatment, lifestyle changes, or a penile implant for severe cases.
Tests often offered
Blood and hormone tests, ultrasound if needed.
Prostate: weak stream, raised PSA, screening
An enlarged prostate is common with age and treats well. The assessment shows whether it is benign enlargement, inflammation or something to monitor.
Tests often offered
Ultrasound, uroflowmetry, PSA test, biopsy if needed.
Kidney stones and renal colic
Severe pain in the back or side may come from a stone. Treatment depends on its size and position, and a check-up helps prevent new stones.
Tests often offered
Ultrasound, CT scan, stone analysis.
Frequent or urgent need to pass urine
Getting up several times a night or rushing to the toilet is not something you have to live with. There are many causes, in men and women, and most can be treated.
Tests often offered
Uroflowmetry, ultrasound, urodynamic study.
Urinary incontinence
When coughing, exercising or with sudden urges: incontinence affects many women and men. Solutions range from pelvic floor therapy to surgery.
Tests often offered
Urodynamic study, ultrasound, cystoscopy.
Recurrent urinary infections
Several bladder infections a year, prostatitis or a kidney infection call for finding the cause and adapting treatment.
Tests often offered
Urine test, ultrasound, cystoscopy.
Blood in the urine or semen
Even if it goes away, blood in the urine should always be checked. The assessment is quick and often reassuring.
Tests often offered
Ultrasound, cystoscopy, CT scan if needed.
Male fertility
When pregnancy takes a while, testing the man matters as much as testing the woman. A varicocele, for example, can be treated.
Tests often offered
Semen analysis, testicular ultrasound, hormone tests.
Testicular pain or swelling
A lump, swelling or pain should be examined. Sudden severe pain is an emergency: go to A&E.
Tests often offered
Testicular ultrasound.
Paediatric urology
Circumcision, tight foreskin, undescended testicle or urinary problems: Dr Bakar also sees children.
Tests often offered
Clinical examination, ultrasound if needed.
Men’s sexual health: there are solutions
At the Sainte-Anne Saint-Rémi urology and andrology department, Dr Bakar offers two in-clinic approaches alongside standard treatments.
One man in twobetween 40 and 70 is affected to some degree by erectile dysfunction.
Low-intensity shockwave therapy
Acoustic waves stimulate new blood vessels and tissue repair in the penis. They treat some vascular causes of erectile dysfunction, for more spontaneous and longer-lasting erections.
- At the practice, no anaesthesia
- Painless for most patients
- No break from daily activities
Penile PRP
Platelet-rich plasma, prepared from your own blood, provides growth factors that support blood vessel health and tissue repair.
- Simple procedure at the practice, no hospital stay
- Well tolerated: it is your own blood
- An add-on to usual treatments
Penile PRP is still being evaluated scientifically and is not a standard treatment. Dr Bakar will discuss with you whether it suits your situation.
Other treatments offered
- Oral medication
- Penile injections
- Vacuum devices
- Hormone treatment
- Penile implant
- Lifestyle changes
