Inhaltsangabe

Now that prostate health is openly discussed, more and more men and their families are looking for help in understanding this small but potentially problematic male organ. In this accessible, informative guide, eminent urologist Dr. Yosh Taguchi tackles the most common prostate problems -- benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis and cancer. Readers will learn about:

the anatomy and function of the prostate
the importance of regular check-ups
surgical options, including the two-stage prostatectomy
medication options, including drug names and suggested dosages
disorders that mimic prostate disease
thermal therapy
preventative measures
pain control
surgery issues and preparation
managing the disease
incontinence, impotence and erectile dysfunction
new developments in treatment.

Complete with diagrams, charts and case studies, Prostate offers clear and comprehensive information on what is known, what is still not clear and what remains conjectural about this most sensitive of male health concerns. Written by an expert who obviously cares for his patients and who believes that self-education in matters of health is one of the cornerstones of preventative medicine, Prostate is an important and timely book.
