[Psychosomatic problems in urology. Experiences of a practising urologist (author's transl)]. 1980

E A Günthert

50% of all patients being treated by the author do not reveal any pathological organic findings. Most of these patients show symptoms of a so-called "Prostatitis" or "Urethro-Vaginitis". The authors findings are in accordance with those made in outpatient clinics of large medical centers. On the basis of the authors longterm experience three factors seem to be of most importance in treating such patients: 1. the full acceptance of the symptom, 2. the acknowledgement that he is a real patient although his symptoms are psychosomatic. 3. the strict avoidance of treating psychosomatic symptoms with conventional therapeutic measures such as antibiotics. The detailed discussion of the patients problems should be the centerpoint in the management and treatment of psychosomatic cases.
