Practical Gynecology

A more unified structure of health care delivery is becoming the standard, resulting in patients commonly presenting to primary care offices with gynecologic issues. However, clinical experience in gynecology during residency training has often been insufficient to prepare physicians for this aspect of primary care. Practical Gynecology: A Guide for the Primary Care Physician is an up-to-date compendium that covers a broad range of gynecologic problems commonly managed in an office setting. The book is intended to meet the needs of physicians with different levels of gynecologic knowledge and experience. Fundamentals are reviewed, and detailed evidence-based information on a wide variety of subjects is presented. Practical guidance is provided on topics such as examination and screening, menstrual disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, breast problems, and menopause. Because clinical care of the patient is central to the book, essential information is made easily accessible through numerous tables and highlighted points. The latest addition to the ACP Women's Health series is an invaluable resource to the physician providing gynecologic care. Practical Gynecology is a part of the ACP Women's Health Series.
