PROSTATE PROBLEMS

What it says on the back cover :-

" There are many myths and misunderstandings about the prostate gland and prostate surgery. Jeremy Hamand's bestselling book sweeps these aside and provides in plain language all a man needs to know about his prostate gland, the problems that can beset it and the treatments that are available, giving an authoritative and realistic assessment of the alternatives to surgery now in use or being developed. Includes :-

benign enlargement of the gland
the various forms of prostatitis and prostate cancer
prostatectomies and non-surgical methods
how to get the best from your doctor or consultant
measures to prevent prostate problems."

What we say:-

Still the best book available here in the UK. However things move along in the prostate world and this book was last revised in 1995. This means that some new ideas and treatment systems are not mentioned and some have now been shown to be ineffective. Microwave treatment for instance which has taken a tumble in the UK although it seems to be flavour of the month in the USA. The PHA feel that microwave treatment is inferior to the radio frequency treatment used by the Direx range of machines. So for background this is the book. Then to bring yourself bang up-to-date you need a subscription to the PHA Newsletters !
