Sharma (general practitioner, special interest in gynecology) presents this dense reference for other doctors addressing gynecological conditions commonly encountered in the primary care setting, such as dysmenorrhea, abnormal vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, non-menstrual bleeding, incontinence, infertility, menopause, and many others. Earlier chapters focus on presenting symptoms, while later chapters address diagnosed conditions. Recommendations for differential diagnosis, testing, patient communication, and treatment are given, with detailed information on efficacy and levels of supporting evidence. The book is especially written with an interest in establishing quality care standards with the recent structural changes in the NHS. Distributed in the US by Martin P. Hill Consulting.
