The Prostate Monologues
Author: Jack McCallum
Publisher: Rodale
ISBN: 1609610555
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and approaching surgery, Jack McCallum wanted to tackle the confusion, misconceptions, and conflicting medical advice that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues. Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, “When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?” Or, if you have surgery, “What’s it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?” With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to “regular” men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what’s worked for him—and what’s proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.

Handbook of Transrectal Ultrasound and Biopsy of the Prostate
Author: Uday Patel
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781841841922
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
As longevity increases, prostatic diseases and cancer present a growing health problem in western societies. Strategies for disease prevention and early detection need to be developed and rigorously tested. Transrectal ultrasonography with or without biopsy has added considerably to our understanding of the anatomy of the prostate and to the etiology of prostatic diseases. The highly illustrated Handbook of Transrectal Ultrasound and Biopsy of the Prostate presents in a simple and logical manner the underpinning fundamentals of transrectal sonography, such as the physics of ultrasound and equipment details, and focuses on the practical aspects of prostate scanning and biopsy, thus equipping the practitioner, whether an ultrasonographer or uroradiologist, with the skills to set up and run a safe and accurate prostate assessment clinic.
