Although not always life threatening, prostate diseases are often associated with a significant reduction of quality of life. The ever-swelling ranks of men beyond middle age are increasingly reluctant to accept restrictions on their activities as they grow older. Prostate diseases are now acknowledged as an important component of men's health and worthy of proper scrutiny. In this volume the anatomy and physiology of the normal prostate are described. The molecular basis of BPH, prostate cancer, and prostatitis are illustrated. The author concludes with the pathology and means of diagnosis of these most prevalent disorders.

Extensive yet straightforward, the atlas contains diagrams that are clearly outlined and easy to understand, outstanding illustrations, and color photographs. The streamlined chapter on diagnosis provides an easily accessible guide to the tests needed in cases where more detailed examination is necessary. The illustrations of surgical treatments such as revascularization, penile prosthetic surgery, and reconstructive surgery for Peyronie's disease supply a snapshot of the key steps involved in each technique. The book puts current, state-of-the-art information in the hands of clinicians and urologists.

Millions of men throughout the world are afflicted by erectile dysfunction (ED). Not just an inevitable part of the aging process, ED commonly is the result of some other illness such as diabetes mellitus or hypertension. Although never life-threatening in the usual sense of being fatal, ED may have major effects on quality of life by causing considerable loss of self-esteem and often putting important life relationships in jeopardy. However, we are now able to understand the causes, pinpoint the diagnosis, and initiate safe and effective therapy for the many sufferers with this disorder.Written by a world-renowned, leading expert in the field of urology, An Atlas of Erectile Dysfunction covers all aspects of erectile dysfunction, including anatomy, mechanisms of erection, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options for this highly prevalent and often distressing condition. Treating each area in depth, the author discusses such topics as neurogenic, psychogenic, and endocrinological causes, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, previous surgery, depression, psychosexual counseling, medical therapies, and surgery. The only work of its kind, this exceptional reference provides clinicians with easy access to the information that they require to alleviate the often considerable anxiety and distress endured not only by the many men afflicted by ED, but by their partners as well.

This is a much-needed atlas and textbook of prostatic disease, with a major section on the most up-to-date methods of diagnosis. It features a large number of superb color illustrations along with the text to illustrate and explain the anatomy and embryology of the prostate, innervation and ejaculatory function, and the underlying mechanisms and causes of abnormal prostate growth. The atlas also covers prostatic neoplasia and inflammatory processes, pathology of the prostate, bladder outlet obstruction, benign prostatic hypertrophy, prostate cancer and prostatitis, and the diagnosis of prostatic disorders.

Shared Care for Prostatic Diseases

As more and more men with prostate problems present to their family practitioners, automatic referral to a urologist is no longer the answer. There is now a trend towards a 'shared care' approach, with family practitioners playing an important role in detecting prostatic disease and enhancing patient care. Critical to its success is the ability of family practitioners to identify accurately those patients who require referral and those who can be safely managed within their own practices. Shared Care for Prostatic Diseases provides an invaluable reference of the overriding principles of managing men with prostatic diseases.
