Author Description

Edited by highly experienced, leading academicians and practitioners, this book forms part of a collection of workshop manuals designed to amalgamate the most recent advances and evidence-based practices in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology. The Manual on Adolescent Gynecology provides clinicians and trainees with the most recent scientific advances and methods for daily practice. Beginning with an overview of menstrual health, sexual health and education; contraception, and body image and self-esteem, the following chapters cover common gynaecologic disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis. A separate chapter is dedicated to gynaecological cancers in adolescents. The book concludes with discussion on mental health and menstruation, disability and menstruation; and cultural sensitivity and menstrual health. The book is an invaluable resource for practising gynaecologists, residents and students.
