Question

select the correct answer.
peter has been seeing a counselor for problems in his sexual life. peters counselor referred him to an urologist to treat his problem. which disorder is most likely to be the cause of peters problems?
a. endometriosis
b. erectile dysfunction
c. gonorrhea
d. prostate cancer

Explanation:

• Option A: Endometriosis is a disorder affecting the female reproductive system, so it can't be Peter's (male) problem.
• Option B: Erectile dysfunction is a sexual problem in males that can have physical causes, and urologists often treat such conditions related to male sexual health.
• Option C: Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection, but referral to a urologist for sexual problems due to an STI is less common compared to erectile dysfunction, and the question implies a disorder more likely related to sexual function treatable by a urologist in the context of sexual life problems (not just infection).
• Option D: Prostate cancer is a serious condition, but initial sexual problems leading to counselor referral and then urologist for prostate cancer is less likely as prostate cancer's symptoms are more varied and not the first association with sexual life problems in this context.

Answer:

B. erectile dysfunction
