About this book

This book fills a major gap in the literature by providing comprehensive guidelines for the care of male patients through the lifecycle and across healthcare settings. Devoted solely to improving men’s health, this book serves as an accessible, practical reference for clinicians treating these patients. It focuses on the psychosocial challenges that men encounter in obtaining healthcare as well as acute and chronic medical and psychological diseases. The book also offers  current evidence-based guidelines for wellness and health maintenance. Topics  include the problem of help seeking, preventative services, sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular health, prostate cancer screening, and testosterone deficiency. Men’s Health in Primary Care is a valuable resource for primary care clinicians and students in family medicine, internal medicine, and adolescent medicine.    

Reviews

“The intent is to provide a multidisciplinary, evidence‐based reference for primary care providers on the diagnoses and disorders that affect male patients of all ages. The audience is clinicians in the primary care setting. … This book is quite current in its articles, which are well researched and well written with a very helpful section on motivational interviewing to help work through the barriers to providing care for men.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
