Description
This book is an advanced textbook and a clinical manual of Chinese andrology. Chinese andrology is a specialty within Chinese medicine and is usually practiced by modern Chinese doctors who with few exceptions practice integrated Chinese-Western medicine (zhong xi yi jie he). Whereas there is a reasonably-sized body of professional andrology literature in Chinese, this text represents the first comprehensive English language Chinese andrology text to date.
Section 1 introduces the foundations of Chinese andrology and includes all of the following:
- The history of andrology in Chinese medicine
- Anatomy of the male genitourinary system
- The channels and network vessels in andrology
- The viscera and bowels in andrology
- Andrological disease causes and pathomechanisms
- Chinese andrological diseases
- General treatment principles in andrology
Section 2 covers specific andrological diseases including:
- Scrotal and penile diseases
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Prostatitis
- Erectile dysfunction
- Male infertility
- Peyronie's disease
- Priapism
- Andropause
"With a depth of scholarly research that often surpasses even the Chinese source texts that inspired it, Bob Damone has created a masterpiece that weaves centuries of accumulated knowledge into one well- organized, clinically focused reference work. The authenticity, accuracy, and utility of this text will make it the defining work in the field of Chinese medical andrology for decades to come."
