Dear E-newsletter Subscriber,


Most men know something about prostate problems, but little about the wonderful advances in treating them.


If they only knew about important new discoveries at Mayo Clinic and other leading medical centers!


Prostate concerns, even cancer, are often easily treated. The outlook for cure and survival is now excellent.


Mayo Clinic Essential Guide to Prostate Health is for men everywhere, and for the women who care about them. It has great news about medical advances and improved treatment options. It tells how to prevent and treat common male health problems such as ...


  • Frequent urination, a daily and nightly inconvenience for many men.


  • Prostate cancer, now more treatable than ever thanks to experience with millions of patients.

By bringing a man the very latest information, this book replaces his fears with reassuring facts.


Often, it's a woman in his life a spouse, daughter, sister or friend who is best able to direct him to this information. Many buyers of Mayo Clinic Essential Guide to Prostate Health are women.


Here's a sample of all the GOOD NEWS about prostate health in this important book ...


  • Our latest recommendations on PSA testing, with detailed information on normal PSA levels by age based on the test used at Mayo Clinic.


  • New information on the two types of drugs currently used to significantly reduce symptoms of prostate enlargement.


  • A review of the scale doctors use to tell how extensive a case of prostate cancer is, and how best to treat it.


  • The pros and cons of various alternative therapies such as saw palmeto. Learn which of these therapies may help, and which may be little more than hype.


  • For some men, new laser therapies offer relief for prostate enlargement with fewer side effects.


  • New guidance on managing incontinence.


  • New information about the use of cryotherapy, radiation therapy and other innovative, non-surgical techniques.


  • What to expect after prostate cancer surgery, including information on recovery time and getting on with life.


  • A new glossary explaining more than 90 terms related to prostate health.

Mayo Clinic Essential Guide to Prostate Health gives men the medical answers they need to know and reassuring details they'll be glad to know.


Best of all, this book is overwhelmingly positive. The advances in prostate treatment are real and meaningful Mayo Clinic's experience helping thousands of men shows it.

Yours in good health,
