| Summary: | The purpose of the present report is to describe experiences during the second year of the outpatient clinic. New 1229 patients visited a year. Cystitis, benign prostatic hypertrophy and upper urinary tract stone were three major diseases. Stones were, however, encountered less frequently as compared with the urban areas. Acute cystitis often developed in females after they had planted rice in paddy fields. They used to continue the work even in rain, and no places suitable for urination are available in the field. General practitioners do not clarify the differential diagnosis of urinary tract infection and of hematuria. Cystitis is the diagnosis; antibiotics is the treatment. Neoplasm, therefore, becomes unresectable, tuberculosis causes contracted bladder, and stone deteriolates the kidney function. |
