The encyclopedia of men's health

Many of the major health risks that men face can be prevented and treated if they are diagnosed early. An important book for people of all ages, The Encyclopedia of Men's Health offers a complete overview of the medical, scientific, social, and lifestyle issues associated with this topic. Organized in a concise, authoritative encyclopedic format, this invaluable resource provides more than 600 entries on issues related to men's physical and mental health and well-being. It covers physiology, life span, diseases and conditions (including treatment protocols, procedures, and surgeries), genetics, medications, vitamins and supplements, psychology, sports medicine, sexual health, relationships with female partners, men's fertility, fatherhood, and more. Allopathic, complementary, and integrative approaches to men's health are discussed throughout. An extensive bibliography, a directory of leading men's health research centers and organizations, and a glossary of key terms round out this comprehensive reference.
