A prospective, longitudinal and descriptive study was conducted to know the behavior of morbidity of the main urologic affections at the Outpatient Department of the Urology Service of "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes" Provincial General Teaching Hospital. 120 patients were studied from January 1st to December 31st, 1998. The prostatic adenoma predominated in the series (37.1 %). The average age of the patients was 51.25 % ( ± 19.52). The age group 30-44 (30.9 %) prevailed. Most of the patients were males (90.8 %). The negative diagnostic concordance predominated among the different groups of referred patients (55.8 %). The physical examination was the main diagnostic method (54.7 %). The urologic affections found in our investigation may be easily diagnosed by physical examination, which can be made by a general physician with a minimum training
