This fully illustrated and easy to follow text provides GPs with clear guidelines on how to diagnose and manage the many common genito-medical and sexual health problems seen in general practice. The 'symptom oriented' approach provides quick and clear reference, with essential extra information provided for the more important conditions. Useful advice is given on how to take a sexual history and who to refer on to GU medicine. The volume covers the full range of commonly occurring male and female GU problems, including sexually acquired and non-sexually acquired, and also includes chapters on genital problems in children, and advice on contraception. In addition to being an excellent and practical source of information and advice for the busy GP, it will also be of benefit to practice nurses, other health professionals, and medical students entering their clinical year.

Book looks at best practice in the clinical management of sexual health and at ways to improve practice systems and procedures.

This book bridges the gap between the counsellor and the specialist sex therapist, by providing answers to questions raised by patients or clients about sex, gender and sexuality. It covers physiological information about genitalia, variations on sexuality, the differences between men and women in genital sexual arousal and sexual dysfunctions, an understanding of developmental sexuality and information as to whether the sex discussed is normal or pathological. By having a clearer understanding of usual sexual practices, counsellors can be readily equipped to reassure their clients, or refer to an appropriate person for specialist referral. Topics covered include physiological difficulties like erectile problems, ejaculatory difficulties, vaginismus and dyspareunia, and loss of sexual desire; gender problems including cross-dressing, transsexualism and intersex; and psychological problems include sexual addiction, fetishism and unusual sexual practices. These are discussed in the context of individual clients and in couple dynamics, and provide a comprehensive reference for the non-specialist mental health professional.
