[Primary care physicians and prostatic disease. National survey. Members of the Spanish Council of Prostatic Health].

The paper presents the results of a survey distributed to 15,000 primary care physicians (PCP) asking about their management of prostate conditions. From the 3.265 surveys completed, the following information was obtained. The number of visits for "prostatism" is low, 3.92 + 3.99 per week. Most PCPs inquired for symptoms related to prostate conditions regardless the initial reason for the visit. 95% refer the patient directly to the urologist, either with no further investigation or after a diagnostic evaluation or initial therapy. Vegetable extracts are the pharmacological group most commonly used by PCPs. They would accept to monitor the patient's evolution, after diagnosis and treatment by the urologist, and always with the specialist's regular supervision. Most show little sensitivity toward prostatic conditions and are aware of slight of null urological education received during their graduation. They are by a majority also ready for a retraining in urology permitting them one active participation in this pathology.

[The urologist and prostatic disease. National survey. Members of the Spanish Council of Prostatic Health].

Analysis of the results of a survey answered by 290 urologists on their relationship with primary care physicians (PCP), as well as the diagnostic and therapeutical approach to "prostatism". According to urologists, the PCPs attitude towards these patients shows a low profile, and they lack the necessary urological training to undertake diagnosis and treatment. With regard to the urological diagnostic approach, it is surprising that 73% of urologists who work outside the hospital milieu, usually do not perform digital examination. Likewise, urography is initially requested by 47.9% of the respondents. The symptoms questionnaire are used by only part of the hospital urologist and is never used by those who have no direct relation with hospital. These tendencies are in conflict with the recommendations established by the WHO for diagnosis of the condition.
