Here the busy practitioner will find concise and useful information on the anatomy and physiology of erectile function and dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders, Peyronie's disease, and priapism, as well as a chapter on female sexual dysfunction, in addition to thorough chapters on diagnosis and treatment.
