Abstract
Most urological problems have sexual sequelae. The majority of unexplained urological symptoms have a psychosexual background, many urological interventions have sexual consequences and the urologist is often confronted with patients having sexual dysfunctions. For the urologist it is therefore necessary to learn basic sexological skills and to implement cooperaration with specialists in sexual medicine in daily urological practice in order to prevent somatization of psychosexual problems, to provide effective care and to improve patient compliance.
