Présentation de l'éditeur

The book provides the latest data on the safety and efficacy of various treatment strategies, as well as new preventive considerations. It focuses on up-to-date practical information that will enable the patient and the primary care physician - who is becoming increasingly involved in the care of the broad spectrum of prostatic diseases - to decide together the most appropriate treatments. Fast Facts: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia will also prove invaluable to other health professionals who work in primary care and who provide care support to men and their families. Contents: Pathophysiology of BPH; Diagnosis of BPH; Medical management of BPH; Traditional treatment options; Minimally invasive treatment options; Considerations in treatment decisions; Future trends, incorporating men's health
