David C. Chen is a urologist based at Austin Health in Melbourne, VIC. Urology covers the urinary system and the male reproductive organs, so his work often involves health issues that can affect day-to-day life, comfort, and confidence.
At Austin Health, David looks after people dealing with problems like an enlarged prostate (BPH). This is a common issue as men get older, and it can cause things like weak urine flow, needing to go more often, or waking at night. He also works with patients who may need treatment options such as Aquablation, depending on the situation.
He cares for people with cancers of the prostate and also testicular cancer. When cancer is involved, appointments usually focus on making a clear plan for treatment, timing, and follow-up. Over time, that support matters, not just for the treatment itself, but for the questions that come up along the way.
David also treats patients who need surgical care. This can include prostate procedures like prostatectomy, and kidney surgery such as a nephrectomy. In some cases, care may also involve other related conditions and aftercare needs, for example when a patient has a colostomy.
Not all cases are the “usual” ones. At times, people are referred with more complex or rare conditions. David’s clinical work includes conditions like adenoid cystic carcinoma and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. He also supports patients where there is testicular disease, including an undescended testicle, and situations involving tissue damage such as gangrene.
Because these conditions can vary a lot, consultations tend to be practical and straight to the point. The goal is to understand what’s going on, explain the available options in plain language, and help patients feel steady about the next steps.
David C. Chen’s care is based around urology services delivered through Austin Health. That includes treatment planning, procedural care, and ongoing management when needed for both long-term conditions and acute issues.
