Diseases of external genitalia can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious diseases are further specified by English terms STD and STI. Urethrities can have numerous causes. Gonorrhoea belongs among the most serious ones. Their treatment depends on thorough patient’s examination and as precise as possible specification of aetiology. Diagnosis of syphilis is based on clinical symptoms and results of laboratory investigations. Other STDs are sporadic in our country. Balanoposthites can have various aetiologies as well. Precanceroses and tumours of external genitalia are frequently linked with HPV infection. There are plenty of...

Doctors of those branches in which it can be useful in complex bio-psycho-social approach to patients are recommended to take interest in the patient’s intimate life, for which there are also epidemiological reasons.

Hyperparathyreoidism is one of the diseases significantly influenced by the accessibility of imunoradiometric laboratory methods in the last years as well as introduction of automatic analyzators for laboratory diagnostics, new possibilities of displaying and localization methods and, last but not least, the development of molecular-genetic screening of patients with risk of disease. These methods facilitate the diagnosis of disease in patients before serious damage to the internal organs occurs.

Urology as a specialty made a novel progress within last 20 years, linked to an implementation of new technique, which enabled the refinement of the diagnosis of urological diseases and enriched a spectrum of its conservative and surgical treatment. In the field of functional disorders of lower urinary tract, the urodynamics or videourodynamics has become the gold standard. Its correct reading gives a chance to handle up to 80 % of these functional disorders with causal conservative treatment. In many cases, this treatment will prevent renal function impairment with gradual onset of chronic renal insufficiency, which ends up with expensive dialysis...

At around the menopause detriorating ovarian function leads to symptoms of estrogen deficiency syndrome and increased incidence of urinary symptoms including dysuria, fequency, nocturia, urgency and incontinence as well as the development of recurrent urinary tract infections. These symptoms are common and distressing and may be the result of estrogen deficiency or a manifestation of the aging process. Estrogens may improve urogenital complaints, but use of estrogen therapy for the treatment of urinary incontinence remains controversial. Estrogen replacement appears to alleviate the symtoms of urgency, urge incontinence, frequency, nocturia and dysuria...
