Urological aspects of diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus, which is a common metabolic disorder, classically presents with urological symptoms. In the assessment of patients referred to a urological service, complaining of urological symptoms including incontinence, diabetes may be overlooked in the search for other causes or contributory factors. Conversely, the diabetic patient presenting with such symptoms requires careful investigation if therapy is to have a rational basis.
