Full Description
Men's Health is intended for the novice medical practitioner explaining topics that clinicians regularly encounter, giving a clear, concise, no-nonsense instructional book. It ranges from hormone therapy to other aspects of sexual medicine and andrology, such as Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome; Premature Ejaculation and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), in the field of Men's Health and guides the reader in both evaluation and management. For the more experienced practitioner there is a wealth of information he can well benefit from as the authors cover some less commonly known aspects of the field of men's health that can only be appreciated after many years in this area of clinical medical practice.
Written by experts in the field, Men's Health is a valuable and timely resource for urologists, andrologists, endocrinologists as well as other health professionals practicing in these areas.
