Description:
Like other functions of the body, sexual and reproductive functions are also very important. Sex is concerned more with the mind and any distractions or lack of confidence will worsen the situation. In humans, there is also an aspect of pleasure in it.
This second edition has been brought out as a more refined and refreshed one along with addition of two chapters and more information on vaginal microbiome, sex education and role of foreskin in men, POIS (Postorgasmic illness syndrome), and about the impacts of anti-androgenic drugs on sexual dysfunction. Index is added for convenience of the readers.
There are not many books available in the field of sexual medicine, especially with more practical approaches rather than scientific theories. Similarly, genital dermatology (venereology) books are available only for postgraduates. This is the first book that has the combination of both sexual medicine and genital dermatology which will be of great use and interest to budding doctors of this field. It covers topics from embryology up to the problems in anatomy, physiology, pathology and the psychological aspects of sexual functions and their management in a simple and practical way. This book throws light on the problems faced by both men and women.
Target Audience:
Students of dermatology, venereology and doctors studying and practicing sexual medicine and genital dermatology of both men and women.
