"Sexually Transmitted Diseases" present a major public health
challenge. Over 25 diseases can be transmitted through sexual
activity, and effective treatment, especially where long term
infection can lead to further health problems, and in women
infertility, requires good diagnostic skills and understanding of
the best treatment methods. This book aims to give a practical
guide to diagnosis and treamtent in a patient-centred framework,
with care at the heart of the book.
The aim of the Gynecology in Practice Series is to provide a
clinical 'in the office' or 'at the bedside' guide to effective
patient care for gynecologists. The tone will be practical, not
academic. The working assumption is that readers want to know what
(and what not) might or should be done, without over emphasis on
the why. That said, it is important to review the crucial basic
science necessary for effective diagnosis and management, and to
provide reminders in the context of the practical chapters.
The books will not be heavily referenced, in line with a more
practical approach. This allows for smoother reading (and also
relieves the burden of comprehensive citing from authors). Key
evidence (clinical trials, Cochrane or other meta analyses) should
be summarized in 'Evidence at a Glance' boxes and key references
such as reviews, major papers can be provided in the 'selected
bibliography' at the end of each chapter.
Practical guidance will be provided through: the use of
algorithms and guidelines where they are appropriate'Tips and
Tricks' boxes - hints on improving outcomes perhaps via practical
technique, patient questioning etc'Caution' warning boxes - hints
on avoiding problems, perhaps via contraindications'Science
Revisited' - quick reminder of the basic science principles
necessary for understanding
