“…A multicenter study by Anyasodor, et al sought to identify common themes in patients with DPSD to distinguish possible new treatment options. 20 Out of 10 patients from two different dermatology clinics, 9 had known or newly diagnosed psychopathology. 20 All patients in the study were offered psychodermatological treatment such as lidocaine ointments in conjugation with selective serotine reuptake inhibitors, however only 7 of the 10 patients accepted this treatment option.…”

Management of mental health illnesses and needs are important in fostering psychosocial support, interprofessional coordination, and greater adherence to treatment protocols in the field of urology. This can be especially true for mental health conditions that may greatly impact the presentation of a patient in the healthcare setting with urologic symptoms. This review describes the history, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder, compulsive sexual behavior/hypersexuality, factitious disorder, malingering symptoms, and conversion disorder in the realm of urology. Given the newly updated psychiatric diagnoses in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition, there has been a lack of studies reviewing how these illnesses may present in a urology patient encounter. Additionally, as these mental health illnesses may carry a rare incidence compared to other well-known mental health illness such as generalized depression or generalized anxiety disorder, we have found that the lack of provisions and recognition of the diseases can prolong the timeline for diagnosis and lead to an increased cost in both healthcare and quality of life of patients with these mental health illnesses. This review provides awareness on these mental health conditions which may greatly impact patient history and presentation within the field of urology. Additionally, urologic care providers may have an improved understanding of interdisciplinary management of such illnesses and the common symptoms patients may present with such diseases.

The mucocutaneous pain syndromes typically involve the head, neck, genitalia and mouth. These are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by unpleasant dysaesthetic symptoms. Some have a clearly demonstrable neurological origin, while for many, no organic cause can be identified. Psychosocial co‐morbidities are frequently encountered in this patient group and outcomes may be optimised by offering holistic, patient‐centred, multidisciplinary management.

Dermatoses of the Male Genitalia

Male genital dermatoses present a diverse array of symptoms including itch, pain, cracking, blistering, bruising, dysuria and dyspareunia, and can affect quality of life in terms of sexual, dermatological, psychological and urological morbidity. Dermatoses such as psoriasis, lichen planus and atopic eczema may manifest in specific morphology in the genital region, while other dermatoses such as lichen sclerosus, have a genital predilection, and subtle clinical signs that require assiduous assessment and a trained eye to detect. Treatment may present similar challenges due to the essential functions and associated stressors in the region. Precancerous pathologies also present challenges in terms of clinical recognition, and treatment, with diverse morphologies and region‐specific predisposing factors, and surgical challenges in terms of preserving sexual and urinary function.
