Synopsis:

Every other man can now expect to be troubled eventually by his prostate, assuming that he lives beyond middle age. Yet men's knowledge of their prostate, and the common diseases which can affect it, is rudimentary compared with the average woman's understanding of the diseases which her breasts and cervix are prone. Designed especially for photocopying, this book should help healthcare professionals explain to their patients the important features of the prostate and things that can go amiss with it. The ever-increasing range of treatment options that doctors have at their disposal to deal with prostate disorders, together with their risks and benefits, are also described. The aim of this text is to promote better understanding of the prostate and its disorders. It is hoped that this will enable patients to work together with their doctors to make informed decisions about the safest and most effective remedy for prostatic problems.
