Prevalence of psychosexual problems in patients attending a genitourinary clinic.

The prevalence of self reported psychosexual problems in 265 men and 160 women who attended the genitourinary clinic at this hospital was assessed. Twenty-six (10.6%) men and 13 (9.0%) women had sexual problems either as an individual or within their regular relationship. The highest prevalence of problems was in married or cohabiting women and men, both homosexual and heterosexual, over 30.

Proctitis in homosexual men. A diagnostic problem.

One hundred and seventy six men with histories of anal intercourse were studied to determine if there was a correlation between the clinical features, cytological findings in the mucosal secretions, and the histological appearance of the rectal mucosa. The presence or absence of gastrointestinal symptoms did not differentiate between patients with and without proctitis. Sigmoidoscopy was normal in each of the 117 men with normal rectal histology. Macroscopic abnormalities were evident in the mucosa of nine of 11 men with infective proctitis, and sigmoidoscopy was normal in 40 of the 48 men with chronic proctitis. Cytological examination was often useful in detecting infective proctitis but not chronic proctitis.

Scissor excision of anogenital warts.

Anogenital warts were treated by scissor excision in 34 patients while under general anaesthesia; most patients were referred by the department of genitourinary medicine. In 28 patients who were adequately followed up the primary success rate was 71.4% and the rate of recurrence of warts was 9.3%. The technique gave good cosmetic results with few complications.
