Description
The past two decades have witnessed a major revolution in the diagnosis and treatment of human sexual disorders. Rejecting the idea that sexual disorders are psychologically based, researchers have shown that vascular disease frequently underlies progressive loss of erectile ability in the aging male. More recently, a similar approach has yielded fruitful insight into female sexual disorders as well.
The editors have assembled a team of well known experts from around the world to review and critically assess current medical knowledge in human sexual disorders. This is the first medical textbook to address most aspects of human sexuality: psychologic and organic, male and female, function and dysfunction. Topics discussed include epidemiology and research models, basic physiology, pathologic mechanisms, clinical evaluation techniques, therapeutic options and the problems of special populations such as patients with diabetes mellitus, spinal cord injury and chronic renal failure.
