Additional text

From the reviews:
“Men’s health is a relatively recent topic strongly related to urology. … Editor Shoskes and more than 30 co-authors aimed to write a textbook covering the bothersome aspects of urological conditions and their consequences on men’s health. … This textbook provides the reader with an original and useful approach to men’s health and will be of interest to many physicians, whether they are urologists or general practitioners.” (European Urology Today, March/May, 2013)
“This book touches on the most common conditions for which men seek urological care, providing an overview and in-depth review of timely topics. … It is written for primary care practitioners as well as urologists, in recognition of the fact that men often seek medical care from their urologist as well as their primary care provider. … an excellent overview for all readers interested in men’s health. As there are few contemporary books in this rapidly expanding field, it will become a valuable reference.” (Perry R. Weiner, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2012)
