Male Sexual Function: A Guide to Clinical Management (Current Clinical Urology)

Public awareness of erectile dysfunction has increased exponentially with the marketing of Viagra. More patients are requesting treatment, more physicians, especially non-urologists, are becoming involved as simpler, less invasive treatments are in the development stage and the approach to evaluating the impotent patient has been simplified. This book covers all of these issues and was developed for physicians treating male sexual dysfunction including urologists, family practice physicians, internists, psychiatrists and sex therapists.

With the introduction of Viagra in 1999, primary care physicians, many of whom had received little training in erectile dysfunction and were not very comfortable about discussing this topic with patients, suddenly found themselves overwhelmed by patients seeking treatment. In Male Sexual Function: A Guide to Clinical Management, leading clinicians and basic scientists comprehensively survey the background, diagnostic tools, associated conditions, causes, and treatments of erectile dysfunction. Here the busy practitioner will find concise and useful information on the anatomy and physiology of erectile function and dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, Peyronie's disease, and priapism, as well as a chapter on female sexual dysfunction, in addition to thorough chapters on diagnosis and treatment.
Comprehensive and up-to-date, Male Sexual Function: A Guide to Clinical Management provides primary care specialists, as well as clinical practitioners at every level of expertise, all the practical knowledge they need to rapidly gain real mastery in evaluating, treating, and discussing erectile dysfunction with those patients seeking advice and treatment.
