Samenvatting:

Most women initially discuss health-related matters with a primary care clinician and can have a plethora of sex-specific medical needs throughout the life course. With greater expectations for GPs and allied health professionals to manage many women's health conditions, this is an invaluable guide for primary care practitioners looking to deliver holistic care to their female patients. This new edition has been thoroughly updated with the most recent guidelines, covering topics such as contraceptive choices, infertility, breast conditions, pregnancy and menopause, along with specific diseases such as ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer. There is a spotlight on the early diagnosis of endometriosis as well as the need for wider menopausal and psychosexual care. Chapters include a list of key points as well as patient cases to illustrate the application of the content. The book is invaluable for primary care clinicians and those preparing for the DRCOG and MRCGP examinations.
