Description:

Like other functions of the body, sexual and reproductive functions are also very important. Sex is concerned more with the mind and any distractions or lack of confidence will worsen the situation. In humans, there is also an aspect of pleasure in it. 

There are not many books available in the field of sexual medicine, especially with more practical approaches rather than scientific theories. Similarly, genital dermatology (venereology) books are available only for postgraduates. This is the first book that has the combination of both sexual medicine and genital dermatology which will be of great use and interest to budding doctors of this field. It covers topics from embryology up to the problems in anatomy, physiology, pathology and the psychological aspects of sexual functions and their management in a simple and practical way. This book throws light on the problems faced by both men and women.
