Hormonal therapy offers a potentially powerful approach to the
treatment of sexual disorders in men. However the interplay of
different hormones within different bodily systems is carefully
balanced; judicious judgement is required in the therapeutic use of
hormones to minimize unwelcome side effects.
A better understanding of how hormones work will help the
physician to better tailor therapies for improved sexual responses
in men. "Hormonal Therapy for Male Sexual Dysfunction" will provide
the rationale for hormonal therapy in male sexual disorders,
explaining the language of sexual endocrinology and its application
in clinical practice.
The aim of this book is to provide a clinical 'in the office' or
'at the bedside' guide to effective patient care for sexual
medicine physicians, urologists, gynecologists and other
health-care providers in practice and in training. The tone will be
practical, not academic. The working assumption is that readers
want to know what (and what not) might or should be done, without
over emphasis on the why. That said, it is important to review the
crucial basic science necessary for effective diagnosis and
management, and to provide reminders in the context of the
practical chapters.
It will not be heavily referenced, in line with a more practical
approach. This allows for smoother reading (and also relieves the
burden of comprehensive citing from authors). Key evidence
(clinical trials, Cochrane or other meta analyses) should be
summarized in 'Evidence at a Glance' boxes and key references such
as reviews, major papers can be provided in the 'selected
bibliography' at the end of each chapter.
Practical guidance will be provided through:
- the use of algorithms and guidelines where they are
appropriate
- 'Tips and Tricks' boxes - hints on improving outcomes perhaps
via practical technique, patient questioning etc
- 'Caution' warning boxes - hints on avoiding problems, perhaps
via contraindications
- 'Science Revisited' - quick reminder of the basic science
principles necessary for understanding
