Publisher's Synopsis
This 2nd edition, incorporates recent developments in the field of gynaecology and provides medical students and junior residents an updated textbook that will help them to keep abreast with modern views and practices. Even the practitioners will find this book extremely useful specially with respect to modern methods of management of disorders and diseases. Issues faced by our colleagues in rural areas, where facilities and modern equipments are scarce and gynae practitioners have to work in primitive conditions, have also been addressed adequately. Latest views on the etiology and epidemiology of neoplastic disease and endocrinological disorders have been included in the respective chapters. Researches have shown that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) needs to be carried out only where needed and this is now termed as Hormone therapy (HT). The focus is now on diet and life-style modification that has been highlighted in the management of menopausal women and women with premenstrual tension. Polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis are commonly encountered by Gynae practitioners. I have updated and incorporated the modern concepts of management of these disorders in the respective chapter. By covering these recent advancements I have tried to put together a comprehensive textbook which will be able to guide you in the everyday challenges we face. I hope all concerned will find it useful.
