I am delighted to contribute to this wonderful volume, Clinical Urologic Endocrinology: Principles for Men ’ s Health , edited by Drs. Parviz Kavoussi, Raymond Costabile, and Andrea Salonia. The world of urology has moved forward rapidly over the last 20 years, and one of the more important developments within Urology is the new focus on men’s health. There is an opportunity and perhaps even an obligation for the urologist to become involved in this area, since many of the medical issues that are predominantly or uniquely male-specifi c fall within the realm of urology, such as male infertility, sexual dysfunction, and prostate disorders. A critical component of men’s health is the endocrinologic axis, particularly the role of testosterone and its pathologic counterpart, testosterone defi ciency, in male health and illness. This textbook is therefore timely, as it provides an up-to-date picture of several key aspects of testosterone for men, with chapters written by leaders in the field.
