The current urology training lacks education in sexual medicine. This was demonstrated by a nationwide cross-sectional survey among urologists in training, conducted in June 2015. Regardless of the residency year, most of the residents had never attended training about sexual dysfunction (58.–6 %), possessed little knowledge (48.3 %) and reported a clear need for more education (69.4 %). The majority felt not competent in treating patients with sexual dysfunctions after prostate cancer treatment (55.2 %). Time constraints in a consultation (67.1 %) and lack of education (35.3 %) were the most frequently cited barriers. More than half of the residents reported that the program does not provide sufficient education about sexual dysfunction (54.8 %). Consequently, the results of this survey support efforts to improve the urology program regarding education about prostate cancer-related sexual dysfunction.
