This book provides a comprehensive overview of various chronic diseases - including their clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, treatment options, and recent research findings - with a special focus on the psychosexual impacts of these conditions on patients and their partners. Each chapter in the book is dedicated to a specific chronic illness, examining its impact on the patient's sexual health and relationships. The book starts with an overview of the disease and its management, including both traditional and contemporary therapies, diagnostic tools, and international research studies.
