4. Definition of Genitourinary Problems
Genitourinary diseases include congenital abnormalities,
iatrogenic injuries, and disorders such as cancer, trauma,
infection, and inflammation. These diseases often involve
or result in the loss of tissue structure or function.

5. An understanding of STIs and their complications is
crucially important in gynaecological practice. The subject
is frequently misunderstood and the impact on affected
women, their partners and at times their children may be
considerable.
STIs are often asymptomatic, but can still be transmitted to
others and cause significant problems at the time of
infection or in the future; for example, human
papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer.

increasingly they are identified in older people, in whom
the diagnosis is often not considered and so can be missed.
STIs often coexist and when one is found, screening for
others is required.
