Sexual Health and Genital Medicine in Clinical Practice

This fully revised and updated second edition of Sexual Health and Genital Medicine in Clinical Practice covers the range of conditions seen in genitourinary medicine, sexual health and sexually transmitted infection clinics, making it a useful and practical guide to all health practitioners in this area. This book is aimed at medical practitioners who require a quick reference guide to help with diagnosis and management of genital problems. In addition, it provides essential guidance on what to do next when faced with a patient presenting with a genital complaint, whether the patient can be successfully treated with a drug regimen or needs to be referred up to the Sexual Health and Genital Medicine specialist. Sexual Health and Genital Medicine in Clinical Practice will be of particular interest to residents on their rotations through this field of medicine, doctors in training, specialist nurses, and primary care practitioners.
