Summary

Disorders of menstruation are a major cause of morbidity in women. The treatment of such conditions presents an enormous clinical challenge, especially since some of the treatments used can themselves result in further menstrual and hormonal complications. Clinical Disorders of the Endometrium and Menstrual Cycle provides the first in-depth review of current knowledge of the pathophysiology, investigation, and treatment of menstruation disorders. The emphasis of the book is on the practical management of these common clinical conditions. Included are chapters outlining menstruation from a cultural and historical perspective, as well as from the woman's point of view. While being an important work for gynacologist and family practitioners, the book will also be of great interest to women's health groups.
