A comprehensive guide, Women's Health in IBD: The Spectrum of Care
From Birth to Adulthood will help providers approach the specific
issues that women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face
throughout their lifetimes. This book will better equip providers
to counsel and support women of all ages with IBD. In Women's
Health in IBD, Drs. Bincy P. Abraham, Sunanda V. Kane, and Kerri L.
Glassner focus on the unique aspects of care for women with IBD.
Half of the IBD patient population is female. As we understand more
about gender and sex differences in terms of genetics, physiology,
and medical care, it is important to consider these factors between
men and women to personalize their care. This book encompasses the
entire life span of the female IBD patient through birth,
adolescence, pregnancy, menopause, and older adult years. Each
chapter includes discussions of medications, treatment plans, and
common questions or controversies on important topics in IBD such
as: Transitioning from pediatric to adult care Diet and nutrition
Mental health Health maintenance Family planning Pregnancy and
breastfeeding Menopause Concomitant irritable bowel syndrome
Women's Health in IBD: The Spectrum of Care From Birth to Adulthood
is an essential text that will help anyone who treats women with
IBD, offering practical tools and takeaways for point of care and
beyond.
This easy to read, easy to use pocket guide has been written with
the busy health care provider in mind. Patients with Crohn's
disease and ulcerative colitis - collectively known as Inflammatory
Bowel Disease (IBD) - present special challenges for practitioners,
whether in the office, in the clinic, or on the telephone. IBD
patients typically require lifetime care, and grapple with a wide
range of changing intestinal symptoms and extraintestinal concerns
that can be confusing for the nonspecialist who may not know what
to ask or what to do next. This guide has been written by respected
clinicians in the field of IBD to help anyone who cares for these
patients identify the problems and make decisions about treatment.
Each chapter is devoted to a particular symptom and follows the
same format for rapid access. The book also contains a
comprehensive table of IBD medications, and chapters on other
management issues like long term complications, nutrition, and
alternative therapies.
