Editorial Review:

A leading clinician and researcher in the growing field of sexual medicine explains the connection between a man’s sexual function and overall health—and delivers a 7-step action plan for him to enjoy sexual intimacy over his entire life

As director of the New York Center for Human Sexuality at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Ridwan Shabsigh treats thousands of patients with sexual dysfunctions. His more than 16 years of practice and trailblazing research at Columbia University have confirmed that health is intimately connected to sexual function and that the only way to treat declines in sexual desire, performance, and satisfaction is within the context of men’s and couples’ health.

Now Dr. Shabsigh brings his expert recommendations to the public in this book. Refusing to accept that sexual dysfunction is the inevitable consequence of aging, he lays out a 7-step program to help all men improve their sexual relations—and their health. The book contains:

• a self-test that assesses the reader’s health, sexual satisfaction, and risk for sexual dysfunction

• information on how medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and depression affect a man’s sex life—and how sexual dysfunction is the first warning sign of serious illness

• recommendations for improving lifestyle choices that cause sexual problems and comprehensive approaches to treating any sexual dysfunction

The result is a book that helps every man achieve a lifetime of better sex and optimum health.

Because of Anya

Bald Child 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Anya, a fourth-grader, has a rare but not very serious medical condition that causes all of her hair to fall out. She doesn't want anyone to know, so after Christmas she returns to school wearing a wig that was designed to look exactly like her hair used to look. Anya is terrified at the thought that someone will find out she is bald.

Keely is an insecure girl in Anya's class. She hangs around with Stef, the most popular girl in their class, and she usually does whatever Stef wants her to do. Stef has noticed something funny about Anya's hair and suspects that she is wearing a wig. She wants Keely to tug on it to find out for sure, and to find out what is wrong with her. Keely is convinced that Anya must have cancer or some other awful disease, and she doesn't want to make things any worse for the girl. For the first time she can remember, Keely doesn't do exactly what Stef wants.

But somehow everyone finds out anyway, and Anya is mortified that her secret is out. Is there anything Keely can do to make her feel better?

I liked that Anya had a condition that wasn't potentially fatal; it caused disigurement but no pain and no death. This kept the focus on her humiliation and helplessness instead of putting the focus on a fight to survive.

Editorial Review:

Ten-year-old girls don't wear wigs.

So why is Anya wearing one? That's what Keely wants to know. But when Anya's wig falls off in front of the whole class, Keely realizes what she really wants is to help Anya, even though she's not sure how -- and even though it means she'll have to do something she's afraid of: stand up to her friends.

As for Anya, she just wants her hair to grow back, but no one can tell her whether it ever will. How can she learn to accept her disease when she can't even look in the mirror?

A helpful book, Prostate a guide for men, Fred Felkins husband of Joan Felkins 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This book was refered to me when I was told that I told that I had Prostate cancer by a doctor. The doctor informed me that most men do not understand what the prostate does and how it operates. I read the book and achieved a better understanding of what I was facing. My wife did not read the entire book but did read certain parts and used this to support me in this time. I would recommend that every man over 50 beg, borrow or buy this book, read it, study it and visit with their doctor and get a yearly check up. I am a five year survial of Prostate cancer and every 6 months when the doctor tells me that it is still in remission I rejoice.

Editorial Review:

Including storie about the experiences of individual patients and their families, this comprehensive guide reveals the causes of and cures for inflamation of the prostate, the latest treatments--with illustrations--for prostate cancer and how to decide which to use, what to expect before and after surgery, new tests for benign prostate enlargement and urinary problems, and more.

Good overall source for men over 40 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Don't let the title fool you. This book is not just about Testosterone ("T"). It is about all aspects of men's health after age 40. I found the advice good, on topics like sleep (which affects both "T", and health in general), mental attitude, and things like obesity. The discussion on how being obese basically turns men more feminine makes you want to go out and exercise right now ! I found this book well-written, scientific, but at the same time, like a friendly conversation. The doctor says up front that he wants it that way, and thus, it is not a "too scientific" book, but there is "enough" science in it. I learned for instance about the hormonal systems, and how things like coffee and alcohol affect them. This is a very useful book for men over 40. I think any man will find tons of useful health tips in here.

Editorial Review:

In The Testosterone Factor, the first practical all-natural guide for midlife men, Dr. Shafiq Qaadri offers a groundbreaking strategy for assessing and overcoming—without hormonal supplements—the symptoms of male menopause, including depression, fatigue, explosive anger, loss of ambition, and, perhaps most widely recognized, loss of virility. He offers comprehensive worksheets to help readers quantify their symptoms and gauge their level of andropause, then arms them with specific, personalized strategies for improving their overall wellness. He also tackles that most sensitive of issues—"plumbing problems"—and discusses the pros and cons of Viagra and its cousins. By offering clear information in an upbeat tone, as well as a variety of lifestyle approaches, natural exercises, and step-by-step techniques, The Testosterone Factor helps the midlife andropausal man identify his priorities and follow a strategy that's best for him.

A complete and up-to-date guide for those men (and their partners) concerned about preventing and overcoming impotence. Does increasing age inevitably lead to a sexual decline in men?

Richard Milsten and Julian Slowinksi answer these and numerous other questions in this clear and comprehensive guide to maintaining lifelong sexual health. The authors bring together the two critical areas of expertise--medical and psychological--to explain healthy male sexual function and the problem of sexual dysfunction. With an emphasis on prevention, they discuss the medical and psychological causes of impotence and all available treatment options. Topics include what questions to ask a doctor, what to expect from treatment or therapy, information for women about their partners' health, and a self-evaluation questionnaire. The Sexual Male provides important knowledge for men and women of any age.

For the layperson 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book is really for the layperson. The book "Andropause Mystery" does describe evolving physical, sexual, psychological and mental challenges encountered by the aging male. It does explain hormone replacement for men and the potential problems. There is a nice chapter on the psychological impact of aging on sexuality. It is easy to read and understand, but I prefer "Aging Men's Health: A Case Based Approach" by the same author. No doubt, it is a textbook, but there is more depth and detail for the professional person.

Editorial Review:

The Midwest Book Review says this about The Andropause Mystery:

Board certified specialist in Geratic Medicine, Dr. Robert Tan draws upon his many years of treating older men during their Andropausal years to share his personal research findings (superbly illustrated with case histories) to define the Andropausal biological milestone for the aging male; describe the evolving physical, sexual, psychosocial and mental challenges encountered; explain the role of hormones and supplements relevant to the Andropause phenomenon; and offers unique perspectives on memory loss, erectile dysfunction and sexuality during the Andropause. Written with a completely reader friendly and accessible text, The Andropause Mystery is highly recommended to both medical professionals and the interested non-specialist general reader.
