Summary

Clearly elucidating many of the key issues found in the disparate literature on sex-based differences in health and illness, Women's Health in Clinical Practice provides primary care clinicians with a practical, up-to-date source of information that can lead to optimal, targeted care for women. This volume concisely addresses those issues that, through different risk factors, disease presentations, or gender differences, can distinctly affect female patients. Among the topics examined in this volume are contraception, menopause, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, diabetes, cervical cancer, thyroid disorders, eating disorders, psychiatric disorders, and intimate partner violence. Comprehensive and thorough, Women's Health in Clinical Practice will become an indispensable resource for all clinicians treating women of any age.
