Uncertainty and negative expectations are common responses to the menopause. When it happens too early (sometimes as young as 16) it can be particularly distressing with concerns about physical health, as well as possible social and emotional consequences. Young women are faced with a condition, the causes of which are not well understood, and about which very little is written in medical or lay literature.

In medical texts premature menopause is typically mentioned only in passing, and from the woman's perspective it remains a hidden secret. This can only compound the difficulty for women for whom the life process has suddenly swept into fast forward. Premature menopause can have profound implications both for the woman herself and her partner and family. She is faced with physical and emotional concerns that are usually not considered until much later in life, such as: will she age prematurely? will she need to take long-term medication? will she come to terms with loss of fertility? are there alternative treatments? are there consequences for her future health?

This book presents the aspects of the new German directives on human genetic testing that are relevant to gynecological practice. An important new element is the recent development of non-invasive prenatal genetic diagnostic testing using maternal blood, which are available in Germany since June 2012.

This book is a practical guide for medical practitioners as they navigate through breastfeeding problems that occur in day-to-day practice. If mothers have a breastfeeding complication they are often directed to their GP. In complex situations, medical staff will be making decisions around what treatment plan to follow and whether a mother can keep breastfeeding. In recent years there has been growing evidence that medical professionals often advise mothers to stop breastfeeding while undergoing treatment, when in reality this was not a necessary step. In a time when breastfeeding rates are decreasing, it is important that medical professionals give accurate advice and support a mother's choice to breastfeed if the situation allows it. A Guide to Supporting Breastfeeding for the Medical Profession includes contributions from a wide range of medical professionals and each chapter is written with the practitioner in mind. Contributors include GPs, paediatricians, neonatologists, lactation specialists and midwives. Doctors have a vital role to play in supporting and facilitating breastfeeding, and without the appropriate knowledge they can often inadvertently sabotage it. This book will be of interest to GPs and paediatricians as well as nurse prescribers, midwives and health visitors.

Die seltenen uterinen Sarkome und malignen Mischtumoren sind haufig ein Zufallsbefund. Neben nur wenigen aussagekraftigen Studien existieren keine definierten Therapiestandards und Leitlinien. Wegen der schwierigen Abgrenzung zu den Sarkomen und malignen Mischtumoren wurden auch die mesenchymalen Tumoren mit auffalligen klinischen Eigenschaften, einem potentiell klinisch malignen Verhalten und einem unsicherem malignen Potential aber auch gutartige Mischtumoren in die Publikation aufgenommen. Fur jede Entitat erfolgt eine detaillierte Besprechung zur Epidemiologie, AEtiologie und Pathogenese. Besonderer Wert wird auf die makro- und mikroskopische Charakterisierung, die Prognose sowie die Diagnostik und Differenzialdiagnose mit ihren Fallstricken und Fehlerquellen gelegt. Die klar formulierten Therapieempfehlungen behandeln jeweils auf den Uterus begrenzte, fortgeschrittene, rezidivierte und metastasierte Tumoren. Die Moeglichkeiten der Operation, der Bestrahlung, der neoadjuvanten, adjuvanten sowie palliativen Hormon- und Chemotherapie und Empfehlungen zur Nachsorge werden umfassend und kritisch dargestellt. Trotz der vergleichsweise ausfuhrlichen pathologisch-anatomischen Beschreibung, soll dieses Buch mit uber 200 hochwertigen, vierfarbigen Abbildungen und einem umfassenden aktuellen Literaturverzeichnis dennoch ein Leitfaden zur Entscheidungsfindung fur den klinisch und ambulant tatigen Gynakologen und Onkologen zu sein. Fur die aufgefuhrten Tumorgruppen existiert gegenwartig keine weitere zusammenfassende Monographie.

The National Institute of Health interrupted their huge HRT study in July 2002 when they found that the drug Prempro, a combination of estrogen and progestin, had detrimental health effects. The women who took the drug exhibited an increased risk for breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
Women can lose up to 20% of their bone mass in the first seven years after menopause. Post-menopausal women are twice as likely as men to die of a heart attack. Natural estrogen is the answer.
In this book the authors provide a healthy and natural alternative to HRT. They not only provide nutritious, healthy and delicious recipes; they also explain why phytoestrogens -- plant estrogens -- can alleviate the symptoms of menopause and promote a woman's health. THE NATURAL ESTROGEN DIET AND RECIPE BOOK is the answer to women who are seeking to retain their health through and after menopause in a completely safe, effective and natural way. It also shows women of any age how to make healthy food a permanent part of their lives.

This volume of practise true/false MCQs and short answer questions is intended to be used by the trainee obstetrician and gynaecologist as a self-assessment aid throughout training and during revision for the MRCOG examination, in particular Part 2. Questions have been carefully designed to test both theoretical and practical knowledge, and are representative of the curricular elements highlighted within the RCOG trainee logbook.

Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgical procedure performed on women in the United States. For some women, the decision to have a hysterectomy is an easy one; for others, it is a difficult choice associated with concerns about risks, discomfort, and female identity. Yet many disorders of the uterus-fibroid tumors, uterine and cervical cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine prolapse-may require surgical treatment. In this thoroughly updated edition of Hysterectomy: Exploring Your Options, gynecologists Edward E. Wallach, Esther Eisenberg, Isabel Green, and Stacey A. Scheib describe and explain every aspect of the procedure, including, Symptoms of gynecological disorders that may require uterine fibroid removal or hysterectomy; the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic imaging techniques, including MRI-focused ultrasound; thorough explanations of specific alternative measures that may be used to avoid the need for hysterectomy; the various techniques for hysterectomy, including single-incision surgery and robotic hysterectomy; how to prepare for surgery and what to expect while in the hospital; details on the surgery and postoperative recovery, including information about pain medications, when to resume daily activities, how sexual function may be affected, future reproductive possibilities, and the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy. Included in this compassionate, comprehensive guide to treatment and recovery for women having - or deciding whether to have - a hysterectomy are stories of women whose own experiences with hysterectomy offer useful advice for anyone considering the procedure.

Dieses Buch gibt einen Uberblick uber die aktuellen Moglichkeiten der Praimplantationsdiagnostik, der pranatalen Diagnostik und die intrauterinen Behandlungsmoglichkeiten.

Neben den invasiven Methoden wurden in den vergangenen Jahren immer mehr pranatale nicht-invasive Untersuchungsmethoden etabliert, die als grosser Fortschritt in der Pranatalmedizin angesehen werden: Bluttest auf Trisomie 21 Array-CGH (vergleichende Gen Hybridisierung)Ultraschall

The aim of this book is to provide a straightforward summary of the knowledge required for examinations in specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Part Two of the examination for Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists would be a good example. The volume is intended as a companion to the highly successful Basic Sciences for Obstetrics and Gynaecology which covers the knowledge required for preliminary examinations. Increasingly, examinations of all types are based on multiple choice questions (MCQ) or structured answer questions (SAQ). No apology is made for the fact that the present book addresses the sort of "fact" which lends itself to testing by this approach. Thus, there is little discussion of speculative or contentious areas, no account of present or future research, and no references. Numerous excellent books are available which cover these topics in a much fuller and more discursive manner, and the present volume does not seek to emulate them. Even the most apparently immutable facts are subject to periodic revision. We have attempted to present the "state-of-the-a.rt": most of the material is generally if not universally accepted. A particular problem arises with numerical information. Frequencies of diseases, frequency of clinical findings, efficiency of diagnostic tests and therapies, have almost always been the subject of numerous different studies, each of which yields somewhat different results.

The alternation between urine retention and discharge several times daily from a nappy to the cessation ofall vital functions only becomes the subject baby's first wet of greater attention if the harmony of the structure and function of the bladder is disturbed. Functional disturbances of the lower urinary tract are not only of great socio-economic importance, but are also a considerable personal burden for the patient. Hence urinary incontinence is rightly classified as a severelydisabling illness (Hauri 1985). Opinions still differ regarding the morphological basis ofurinary continence.The Terminologia Anatomica (1998) defines a musculus sphincter urethrae internus (in- ternal urethral sphincter) and a musculus sphincter urethrae externus (external ure- thral sphincter),which in the older nomenclature were known as musculus sphincter vesicae and musculussphincterurethrae,respectively.The internal urethral sphincter isascribed apurelyinvoluntaryandthe externalurethralsphincterapurelyvoluntary innervation. The significance of the musculature of the pelvic floor for maintaining urinarycontinence has notyetbeen ascertained. Duringnumerous urologicaloperations (forinstancetransurethralresectionofthe prostate and bladder neck incisions), the only involuntarily innervated sphincter at the collum vesicae,the internalurethralsphincter,is partiallyorcompletelydestroyed (Fig. 27C,D).All the patients remain continent as long as the externalurethral sphinc- ter remains intact.Howcan apurelyvoluntarilyinnervated sphincterlikethe external urethral sphincter ensureconstant continence in such cases? Improving the continence rate after radical surgery is a key topic of urological research. The incontinence rate after radical prostatectomy is still between 8.1% (third-degree incontinence) and41.4% (first- to second-degree incontinence; Rudyet al. 1984; Igel et a1.1987; Schroderand Ouden 1992).

This text provides a quick reference to all the important facts in the clinical sciences for candidates aiming at a postgraduate qualification in obstetrics and gynaecology, including those candiadtes studying for the MRCOG Part II examination. The text has been revised and updated, but the concise style and comprehensive coverage of all the essential aspects of the subject are retained. Written by a highly expert team of authors, this text will be an invaluable reference for students and will also be of value to clinicians as a brief guide. This volume serves as a companion to the highly successful "Basic Sciences for Obstetrics and Gynaecology" by Chard and Lilford, which is now in its Fifth Edition.

The book offers insights which are relevant to those concerned with the rapidly growing field of genetic risk management.

Die arztliche Handlung bedeutet in der Regel einen Eingriff in die korperliche Integritat seines Patienten. Hierbei gehen Patient und Arzt unterschiedliche Risiken ein: der Patient gesundheitlich, der Arzt solche der Haftung fur Untersuchungs- oder Behandlungsfehler. Insbesondere im Krankenhausbetrieb mit der Anhaufung unterschiedlicher Fachbereiche und Berufsgruppen treten haftungsrelevante Problemzonen zunehmend in den Vordergrund. Gefragt ist nach der optimalen Organisation von arztlicher Handlung im Einvernehmen mit anderen Berufs- und Fachgruppen. Neben der arztlichen Handlung als Prozessparameter entstehen viele Konflikte aus strukturellen und organisatorischen Defiziten. Die ublichen gefahrentrachtigen Bereiche der Struktur, der Fortbildung, der Aufklarung, der Dokumentation, der Vertragsgestaltung und der Organisation werden aus der Sicht des Risikomanagers abgedeckt."
