This book 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. However, as genital infections and medical problems are very similar worldwide, any practitioner managing genital disease and sexual health problems should find this book of practical value.

The book is aimed specifically at medical practitioners in primary care who require a quick guide to help diagnose and manage genital problems - a prompt to ‘what to do next’ when faced with a patient with a genital complaint. The book has many colour illustrations, with key points and summary boxes helping to make the book a quick reference guide.
