If you lis­ten long enough, the patient will tell you what the prob­lem is.” This basic med­ical rule is how I try approach the new patient with a con­cern regard­ing the uri­nary or male repro­duc­tive sys­tems. Giv­ing a per­son the time to explain symp­toms and feel­ings can often break down a seem­ing­ly com­plex prob­lem into straight­for­ward treatments.
