21st Century Ultimate Medical Guide to Male Genital Disorders (Penile and Testicular) – Authoritative Clinical Information for Physicians and Patients (Two CD-ROM Set)

This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of documents on the subject of male genital disorders including penile and testicular problems. Problems with the penis can cause pain and affect a man’s sexual function and fertility. Penis disorders include: * Erectile dysfunction – inability to get or keep an erection * Priapism – a painful erection that does not go away * Peyronie’s disease – bending of the penis during an erection due to a hard lump called a plaque * Balanitis – inflammation of the skin covering the head of the penis, most often in men and boys who have not been circumcised * Penile cancer – a rare form of cancer, highly curable when caught early Testicles, or testes, make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped organs inside the scrotum, the loose sac of skin behind the penis. The testicles are not protected by bones or muscles. Men and boys should wear athletic supporters when they play sports. The testicles should be examined monthly and medical attention sought for lumps, redness, pain or other changes. Testicles can get inflamed or infected. They can also develop cancer. Testicular cancer is rare and highly treatable. It usually happens between the ages of 15 and 40. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material.
