In ROS, what type of symptoms might be included in the Genitourinary section?

In the Review of Systems (ROS), the Genitourinary section specifically addresses issues related to the urinary tract and reproductive health. Symptoms included in this section typically involve conditions or concerns such as frequency of urination, difficulty in urination, pain during urination, blood in urine, incontinence, changes in urine color or odor, and any symptoms related to sexual health, such as erectile dysfunction, libido changes, or menstrual irregularities.

Choosing the option that reflects issues related to urination and sexual health is important because it aligns with the specific focus of the Genitourinary section. Other symptoms listed in the other choices pertain to different systems and do not capture the essence of the Genitourinary assessment, which is focused on urological and reproductive issues. This understanding ensures accurate documentation and communication of a patient’s health status.
