Methodology and Method.This book provides a rich, multidimensional analysis of how prostate cancer is lived, treated, and perceived by different actors through the stages of care, rehabilitation, and recovery. Furthermore, it focuses on how side effects, such as urinary leakage and impotence, affects the construction of masculinity. Though the book foregrounds men treated for prostate cancer, it also includes the voices of partners and health care professionals, such as urologists, contact nurses, and sexual health counsellors. The focus is on both phenomenological aspects of prostate cancer—how the disease affects men’s self-perception and lifestyle—and on sociological aspects—that is, how gender and masculinity are understood and negotiated in social situations/interactions. Situated within the field of critical studies on men and masculinity the book engages in an intersectional analysis of the relationship between prostate cancer, class, and ageing masculinities, as well as providing an analysis of the complex relational triad created when voices of treated men, their partners, and health care professionals are brought together.Social medicineHealthSexCancerHealth, Medicine and SocietyGender and HealthCancersSexuality StudiesSocial medicine.Health.Sex.Cancer.Health, Medicine and Society.Gender and Health.Cancers.Sexuality Studies.612.67Andreasson Jesper942275Johansson ThomasMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910838284003321Prostate Cancer, Sexual Health, and Ageing Masculinities4260592UNINA
