About this book
An up-to-date textbook on the clinical essentials in women's healthcare
Written by an international team of OB/GYN practitioners, this book offers an overview of the most important and common clinical issues in obstetrics and gynecology, including reproductive endocrinology, gynecologic oncology, maternal–fetal medicine, and sexuality. It provides readers with current information on evidence-based approaches to the management of normal pregnancy, labor and birth, as well as the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of high-risk pregnancy, infertility, and acute and chronic diseases, and psychiatric disorders in women of all ages. For each condition the authors give a clear definition, discuss its epidemiology, etiology and pathophysiology, and present the most up-to-date protocols for its detection, screening, and clinical management. They also provide a thoughtful evaluation of why certain therapies and approaches are more effective than others.
Features:
