Abstract:
Despite the availability of modern urological methods, the diagnosis and therapy of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) continues to present problems that are due in part to the discrepancy between the patient's subjective symptoms and the objective findings. With the aim of achieving a "clear" picture of the actual indication or treatment, a differentiated approach involving a careful waighing up of the patient's history, symptoms, basic laboratory investigations and the use of conventional sonography would be desirable in the doctor's office. The present paper describes a rational concept for the "interface" between the general practitioner's office and that of the specialist.
