CLINICAL PROBLEMS IN PEDIATRIC AND ADOLESCENT GYNECOLOGY V1 - Tapa dura

Professor Alvin Goldfarb and other contributors in the field gather together to present this easy-to-use reference detailing the most common clinical problems within paediatric and adolescent gynaecology. This book emphasizes the proper procedures when examining the patient, the growth and development stages, and problems occurring during adolescent sexuality. Clearly defined and organized, the text presents a variety of clinical problems including diagnoses and management for each. The book begins by focusing on the treatment of the patient during the examination and clinical problems related to vulvo-vaginal disease and sexual abuse. The next section discusses the physiology of puberty and the management of abnormal uterine bleeding. The third segment of the text explores problems concerning adolescent sexuality, the role of contraception and managing human papilloma virus (HPV). Finally, a review of the differential diagnoses and management of pelvic pain is addressed. In order to understand the adolescent and paediatric patient one must realize that there are distinct physical and behavioural differences from those of an adult patient. This book should be of interest to obstetricians, gynaecologists, paediatricans, and special sales-drug companies.
