|
|
For men approaching forty and older, the prostate gland is frequently a source of health problems, ranging from mild nuisances to life-threatening malignancies. Thus, it’s important that every man understand what the prostate is, what to do to avoid future problems, and how to treat existing ones. Dr. J. Stephen Jones—a leading urologist at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and a nationally recognized authority on prostate problems and treatment—has written this comprehensive, thorough, informative, and completely accessible volume to give men all they need to know about this potentially troublesome organ. The book, divided into three sections, covers the basic anatomy and function of the prostate, benign conditions that most men eventually experience, and prostate cancer. Using accessible and informative language, Dr. Jones explains: · what to expect from a trip to the urologist’s office and different examination techniques · the impact of sexual activity on prostate and overall health · benign conditions, · alternative or complementary remedies · the typical symptoms of prostatitis and treatment of an enlarged prostate · PSA screening and the controversy surrounding its effectiveness · prostate ultrasound and biopsy · treatment options including laser surgery, cryosurgery, and brachytherapy (radioactive seed implants) · managing the complications of and coping with prostate cancer · and much additional crucial and potentially life-saving information. Containing the most recent developments in detection and treatment of prostate conditions, this superb, user-friendly reference guide should be owned by every man.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: great read re prostate problems
Comment: High PSA lab test scores lead me to schedule a (first-time) biopsy of my prostate, a somewhat frightening prospect. Dr. Jones' section on biopsies clearly explained what to expect, and helped to put my mind at ease. His book contains a wealth of additional information on prostate difficulties, clearly written in a style readable to those who are not a medical professionals.

Summary: One of the best
Comment: This is one of the best dealing with the prostate. Check out the one published by the Mayo Clinic and the one published by the Johns Hopkins Unversity Press. Be careful of the copyright date. Theories and methods are changing rapidly. I found out that I am ahead of my urologist who, in my opinion should do one of three things: (1) Buy some new books, (2) Go back to medical school or (3) retire because his knowledge is obsolete. BE PREPARED! DOCTORS ARE NOT GOD (some may think they are). This is a serious situations. Do your own homework and don't rely on your doctor to know everything and not screw up. Don't overlook the book about a "headache in the pelvis". If you do not get good results from your urologist, your internist may know more practical solutions and don't hesitate to get a second opinion from a different urologist. I am disgusted with urologists. I go to two, at present, who do not even agree with their own partner. It's scary!

Summary: A recommended pick
Comment: Leading urologist Dr. J. Stephen Jones has been nationally recognized as an authority on prostate problems and their treatment, and here writes the perfect consumer guide on how to understand conditions, therapies, and alternatives. The latest developments on detection and screening of conditions is included in a guide which is much more accessible than competitors. THE COMPLETE PROSTATE BOOK: WHAT EVERY MAN NEEDS TO KNOW is a recommended pick, especially for general lending collections specializing in consumer health.

Summary: A Guide for a Difficult path
Comment: I had received an early warning sign. The possibilty existed that I had prostate cancer, a disease that killed my father. In my doctor's office was a book he had written entitled "The Complete Prostate Book". I obtained a copy of the book from Amazon.com so as to study the options available to me. Some months later my cancer was confirmed and I was well prepared to make a decision on my behalf.
The book. while technical in nature, is written with an understanding of the anxiety and emotions that a man will encounter as he decides the treament that is best for him. This is done with facts and actual experiences of men who walked the path of Prostate examination and treatment.

Summary: Outstanding Resource- Easy to Read!
Comment: When Dr. Jones titled this book... he meant it! It IS complete.
This book is a fantastic resource. All facets of prostate problems are discussed, from the very simple to the very complex, in a manner that is easily understood. Whenever medical terms are utilized they are defined and when possible, examples are given to improve understanding. The section of the book on prostate cancer is phenomenal. If you, or someone you love has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are overwhelmed with information and treatment options, I would highly recommend reading this book.
There are very few absolutes in medicine, especially regarding individualized medical treatment. Dr. Jones allows the reader to arm himself with information so that he (along with his urologist) can make the best decisions about his care.
