About of Matthew Farag

Matthew Farag is a urologist based at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne in Fitzroy, VIC, Australia. He helps people with a wide range of urinary and male reproductive health concerns, from day-to-day issues to more serious problems that need careful treatment planning.


In his clinical work at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne, he looks after patients who may need procedures to help with symptoms and long-term health. This can include kidney stone care, where treatments like lithotripsy and ureteroscopy may be used depending on the situation. He also supports patients who have ongoing or recurring stone problems.


Mr Farag also works with people affected by prostate conditions. Prostate cancer and prostatectomy are part of the kinds of urology care provided through his role. He may be involved in investigations and follow-up care that help track how treatment is going over time.


Alongside this, his service includes endoscopy and other urology-related procedures. The listed care also covers more complex cases, where careful monitoring and procedure-based management can be needed. At times, this may sit alongside broader health concerns that come up during hospital care, such as low blood pressure, necrosis, or conditions like a pancreatic pseudocyst and priapism when they occur as part of a patient’s overall picture.


For experience, his day-to-day work at a major public hospital is the main focus here, with regular involvement in assessment, planning, and procedure support for patients who need urology care. Education details aren’t listed here, but his role as a urologist indicates he has completed the standard medical and surgical training pathway for this specialty.


Research and clinical trial involvement aren’t included in the information provided. Still, like many doctors in hospital-based care, he keeps up with practical changes in treatment approaches as they come through everyday clinical practice.
