Dr. Jim's Guide to the Aging Male Body (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393110262)

As a man's age approaches or passes through the half-century mark, he often finds himself facing symptoms and limitations with his body. Many of them force him to look at himself with a sense of vulnerability, while some put a dent in his sexual life as well as his wallet.

While women have a specific physical event noting the changes to their lives, (menopause), men have no similar specific physical marker. But - the changes still occur and are hard to ignore.

Sometimes, men compare notes with friends, co-workers or gym-mates, who are just about as clueless as they are, and other times they resort to the Internet for anonymous advice. Sometime the information they get is clear and correct, but often they simply find a sales pitch to sell them expensive and worthless products.

In this book, Dr. Occhiogrosso clearly explains explains in non-medical terms several of the most common conditions that men face as they age.

More importantly, he clearly explains how an anxious man can easily wind up treating minor condtitions wih aggressive and side-effect laden procedures. Conditions that could be addressed easily with a lessor approach.

The information in this book is worth hundreds of times its price if it saves the reader from a single procedure that leaves him with a myriad of debilitating side effects.
