title: Common urologic disorders. When to treat and when to refer.
abstract: Healthcare will continue to see a trend toward fewer referrals to specialists. Consequently, primary care physicians must understand the evaluation and management of the most common urologic disorders. This understanding, coupled with the knowledge of when to refer to a urologist, will enable safe management.
