Abstract:
Sexual Health and Genital Medicine in Clinical Practice covers the range of conditions seen in sexually transmitted infection clinics and genito-urinary clinics, making it a useful and practical guide to all health practitioners in this area. This book is aimed specifically at medical practitioners in primary care, who require a quick guide to help diagnose and manage genital problemsÑa prompt to Ôwhat to do nextÕ when faced with a patient presenting with a genital complaint. It offers diagnosis, first referral and whether the patient can be successfully treated with a drug regimen or needs to be referred up to the Sexual Health and Genital Medicine specialist. Authored by a UK-based expert in sexual health and genital medicine, the book has many color illustrations, with key points and summary boxes helping to make the book a quick reference guide. Sexual Health and Genital Medicine in Clinical Practice will be of particular interest to residents on their rotations through this field of medicine, junior doctors, specialist nurses, and primary care practitioners.
