Book description
Learn how to interpret menstrual cycle events as vital signs for women.
Irregularities in the pattern and amount of vaginal bleeding of
uterine origin are often signs of pathology or an aberration in the
function of the hypothalamic, pituitary, and ovarian system. The type
of menstrual disorder when coupled to the women's age can give
important signals as to the likely problem.
Disorders of Menstruation follows the reproductive lifetime of
women, from prepubertal abnormalities through the years of potential
child bearing to menopause and beyond. The authors provide a
conceptual framework to understand the mechanisms responsible for
abnormal menstrual bleeding or early pregnancy failure.
This clinically focused book is written for any practicing clinician
who provides healthcare for girls and women. Disorders of
Menstruation highlights accurate diagnostic algorithms that lead
to evidence-based therapy or minimally invasive surgery using
approaches that are practical, efficient, and cost-effective.
A new addition to the Gynecology in Practice series.
