Obstetrics and Gynecology with Case Studies - Hardcover

by Adriana Taylor (Editor)

Obstetrics and gynecology is a medical specialty that seeks to provide medical care and support to women throughout the different stages of their reproductive lives. It focuses on two primary areas, obstetrics and gynecology. Obstetrics deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum issues. It encompasses prenatal care, monitoring the health of the mother and the developing fetus, managing and addressing any complications that may arise during pregnancy. It also provides support during labor and delivery. Gynecology focuses on the health of the female reproductive system outside of pregnancy. It deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions related to the female reproductive system, such as menstrual disorders, fertility issues, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and gynecological cancers. This book strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field.
