Synopsis

The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs in Childhood, Youth, Adult Age, and Advanced Life is a title authored by surgeon William Acton. This work provides readers with the opportunity to immerse themselves in some of the early medical literature about the reproductive organs.

The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs is divided into four sections, each of which is handled separately. The periods of childhood, youth, adulthood, and advanced age are all distinctly profiled in this work. Each section examines the reproductive organs of both men and women, and provides commentary on both normal functions and common disorders observed during the specific phase of life. An additional section is also included discussing the sexual act, its physiology, and possible disorders. Acton''s book is explicitly not about the pathology and anatomy of the reproductive organs.

William Acton''s work is detailed and well researched. This is a thorough examination of the subject matter that leaves little unaddressed. However, as with many medical texts from the nineteenth century, the reader will encounter some information that has since been proven to be incorrect. The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs serves as a good reminder of how much progress has been made in terms of understanding the human body.

The Functions and Disorders of the Reproductive Organs in Childhood, Youth, Adult Age, and Advanced Life is a text that will appeal to the serious student of sexual health that is interested in learning about the evolution of research into the topic, or anybody keenly interested in the subject matter.
