Maintaining the highly successful style of the previous edition, this comprehensive and general gynecological textbook provides guidance for the management of specific gynecological conditions. Organized into six sections, the first two sections cover principles of practice and initial assessment, and the relevant basic science. The third section is on preventive and primary care for women, and the remaining three sections are directed at methods of diagnosis and management in reproductive endocrinology, oncology, and general gynecology. New to this edition is the expansion of the sexually transmitted disease chapters. Includes an appendix of reference values. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.
