Venu Chalasani is a urologist based in Hornsby, NSW. His clinic is on Palmerston Rd in Hornsby, close to local hospitals and general practices.
Urology covers problems with the bladder, kidneys, ureters, and the male reproductive system. Dr Chalasani looks after adults with a mix of routine and more complex conditions. In many cases, people come in because symptoms have been going on for a while, and they want clear answers and a plan that makes sense.
One big area of care is the prostate. This can include an enlarged prostate (BPH), issues linked to prostate cancer, and treatment planning around prostate surgery. At times, patients also ask about family history of prostate cancer, including familial prostate cancer. He also manages prostate-related symptoms such as retrograde ejaculation, which can be upsetting and hard to explain to other people.
He also treats bladder conditions. That includes bladder cancer, including non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Depending on the situation, care may involve bladder procedures such as cystectomy, and ongoing follow-up after treatment.
When it comes to the urinary tract and the kidneys, Dr Chalasani helps people who have conditions that affect kidney function and urine flow. This can include surgery such as nephrectomy when a kidney needs to be removed, along with care around the underlying cause.
Some patients are dealing with bladder pain and long-term bladder symptoms. Interstitial cystitis is one example. It’s not always straightforward, so management often focuses on keeping symptoms under control and helping people get back to a normal day.
There are also times when complex, long-term conditions come up. Dr Chalasani works with care plans for people with Marfan syndrome and meningoceles. He also treats conditions like meningocele-related bladder issues when they affect how the bladder works.
Overall, Dr Chalasani’s practice is about urology care that’s practical and steady. The focus stays on understanding what’s going on, discussing options in plain language, and supporting patients through diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.
