AB  - Urogenital  complaints  are  common  presentations  to  emergency  departments  and  EMS  providers.  Although  not  the  typical  focus  of  prehospital  education  and  planning,  these  clinical  scenarios  represent  a  potentially  growing  number  of  calls  as  more  and  more  members  of  the  public  rely  on  EMS  as  their  entry  into  the  health  care  safety  net.  Despite  the  fact  that  these  conditions  are  not  the  typical  focus  of  EMS  physicians  and  providers,  appropriate  care  and  attention  can  significantly  impact  the  quality  of  care  that  these  patients  receive.  In  some  cases,  the  prehospital  patient  encounter  provides  the  needed  clues  to  the  diagnosis  and  proper  management  that  would  not  otherwise  be  apparent.  Even  in  cases  where  field  care  is  not  potentially  definitive,  attention  to  detail  in  the  field  and  carefully  relaying  observations  can  speed  diagnostic  confirmation  and  intervention  in  the  emergency  department.
