Preface

About This Book

Urologic diseases that affect men, and children of all ages include a wide variety of conditions, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, bladder control problems, and prostate problems, etc., which are all related to filtering and carrying urine out of the body. Some common prostate problems include prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the United States, among men, aside from nonmelanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common and leading cause of cancer deaths. In the United States, during 2017, the latest year for which incidence data are available, there were 207,430 new cases of prostate cancer reported, and 30,486 deaths. For every 100,000 men, 107 new prostate cancer cases were reported and there were 19 deaths.

Prostate and Other Urologic Diseases Sourcebook, First Edition begins with information for men to understand male growth and development, their reproductive system, the urinary tract and how it works, and prostate and bladder problems. It also has information regarding urological issues among different age groups. It goes on to explain the common urinary tract and prostate conditions in newborns and children, kidney stones in adults, urinary tract and bladder infection in adults, urinary incontinence in older adults, urethritis, urethral stricture, prostatitis, prostate enlargement, and epididymitis and orchitis. There is information about bladder control problems, interstitial cystitis (IC), urinary retention, overactive bladder, hematuria, perineal injury in males, and bladder health for older adults. It sheds light on sexual and reproductive concerns facing men such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), the effects of workplace hazards on male reproductive health, testosterone deficiency, diabetes and sexual problems, infertility management, erectile dysfunction (ED), Peyronie disease, enlarged prostate and sex life, undescended testicle, varicocele, and male sterilization, along with cancers of the genitourinary system including prostate cancer, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, testicular cancer, penile cancer, urethral cancer, and bladder cancer.
