Men's Health is a concise, didactic compendium that covers three important aspects of male sexual health:- Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome; Premature Ejaculation and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

The chapters that deal with Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome cover the epidemiology of the condition in the local context, the science behind the condition, its clinical presentation and treatment choices.

The section on Premature Ejaculation advises the health practitioner on how to investigate this condition and describes the various treatment options available to the patient.

The chapters on Sexually Transmitted Infections cover special aspects of  the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of STIs occurring in Men which are not normally highlighted in the usual texts on STI management.

Written by experts in the field, Men's Health is a valuable and timely resource for urologists, andrologists, endocrinologists as well as other health professionals practicing in these areas.
