Patients with diabetes mellitus in the urology clinic are not exceptional. They are being examined for signs of common urological diseases as well as patients without diabetes. But also with complications in the urinary tract or genitals that are specific to the diabetic patient. These complications last for an unknown period of time, often oligosymptomatically. They are often life-threatening for patients. The actual treatment of these diseases consists not only in stabilizing the urological problem, but also in setting up and adjusting the treatment of diabetes. It can be said that diabetes increases the risk of urological problems and, conversely, urological problems (especially inflammation) can lead to decompensation of the patient's diabetes.
