[Check-ups from the urologic viewpoint].
A medical check-up must comprise questions concerning not only the micturition but also the erection. Erectile dysfunction may lead to the detection of a hitherto undiagnosed diabetes or of arteriosclerotic lesions requiring treatment. The physical examination must include a digital rectal examination, in order to find a prostatic carcinoma in an early stage in which the radical operation most often will achieve disease free survival.
