Angelo S. Paola (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1999

More than 15 million American men have not had a basic health check-up in five years or more! Men who may have questions about common men’s health issues often find it awkward to seek answers, thinking it is "taboo" to discuss their health concerns relating to reproduction and the genitalia.

Men who in the past felt they had nowhere to go for reliable information about these "sensitive" issues can turn to this comprehensive guide to men’s health, covering topics from prostate cancer to STDs. Each chapter includes medical advice on causes, diagnosis, and treatment options. Plus, you’ll find the latest information on the drug Viagra!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of "Under the Fig Leaf", January 7, 2000

By 

Robert Karp,M.D. (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Under the Fig Leaf: A Comprehensive Guide to the Care and Maintenance of the Penis, Prostate and Related Organs (Paperback)

This is a very excellent review of urology for the general public. It is very comprehensive,yet easy to read and understand. The illustrations are also extremely helpful. This book should be a standard to every man and woman since it deals with the common health problems that many men and their spouses encounter. The information is very up to date and is presented in a extremely interesting and informative fashion. I would very highly recommend this to all.

This review is from: Under the Fig Leaf: A Comprehensive Guide to the Care and Maintenance of the Penis, Prostate and Related Organs (Paperback)

Excellent book on questions many men have, but don't go through the trouble of investigating any further. Dr Paola does a great job of explaining issues on a basic level, yet in a comprehensive fashion. The review by another 'Dr' on this book is unfortunate in that it is obvious that he has an issue with amazon and his review has absolutely no reference to the actual book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazon.com sucks, January 22, 2009

While the product is great, the way Amazon.com treats its customers sucks. When I received the book, I realized that I already had a copy, so I wrote Amazon.com about that. They quickly made it clear that is was not their fault and would not refund the entire amount! This is wrong and I will be very cautious in ordering from Amazon.com.
