Clinical Andrology (Paperback)

This practical handbook serves as both a comprehensive revision tool for the FRCS (Urol) and FEBU examinations and a concise reference to the theoretical and clinical aspects of andrology – an often underrepresented subspecialty in medical education and postgraduate training.

Covering key topics such as reproductive system anatomy, embryology and physiology, the guide also addresses clinical and surgical management of common and complex andrological conditions, including erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, penile curvature, infertility, penile emergencies and penile and testicular cancers.

Designed to support a wide range of healthcare professionals, this resource is not only valuable for those preparing for specialist exams, but also for practising consultants seeking a focused update on contemporary andrology practice. Its practical approach makes it a useful tool for refining clinical decision-making in both acute and elective settings. In addition, it offers accessible guidance for specialist nurses, primary care physicians and psychosexual counsellors involved in the multidisciplinary care of patients with andrological concerns.
