A11 even greater number will seek help for problems caused by prostate enlargement and inflammation. This book is for them -and for the wives, sisters, and daughters who often take responsibility for educating men about health matters and encouraging them to see a physician. Written by the world-renowned Johns Hopkins surgeon who devised the new, nerve-sparing surgical procedure for treating prostate cancer (generally known as the "Walsh procedure") and an award-winning medical writer, here is an accessible and authoritative resource about the three most common prostate disorders: prostate cancer; benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, commonly known as enlarged prostate); and prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate).

The book includes stories about the experiences of individual patients and their families, and explanatory tables and charts, a complete glossary of terms, and detailed illustrations of anatömy and medical procedures by noted medical illustrator Leon Schlossberg.
