N2 - German men tend to be less health conscious and show less of an interest in preventative behaviours. However, urological symptoms can provide the grounds for a doctor's visit and conversation. Modifiable lifestyle factors such as obesity, lack of exercise and smoking play a role in the development, progression or remission not only of erectile dysfunction (ED), but also in cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome. Moreover, age-related testosterone deficiency can negatively impact the overall health as well as the sexual function of men. Recommendations to alter behaviours in the context of ED management and, if necessary, testosterone replacement, provide the urologist with the opportunity for broad gender-specific prevention for his male patients.
