Problem Orientated Obstetrics and Gynaecology outlines the diagnosis and management of those clinical problems the medical student or residents are most likely to encounter in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Unlike other conventional textbooks on the subject, it takes a problem solving approach; each chapter covers a single clinical problem, clearly outlining the key aspects of history taking, clinical examination, investigation and treatment. This brand new textbook also includes the background information on basic reproductive sciences that is essential to understanding the rationale for management, and identifies topics which constitute 'core' knowledge at undergraduate level. Key Features: * Comprehensive problem orientated textbook * Clear and accessible style within an easy-to-use structure * Clinical relevance reflected in the overall context-based structure and the content of each problem under discussion * Extensive use of summary boxes that contain the main learning points * Identification of core knowledge throughout * Key points and self-assessment sections provide both a substantial core text and a revision aid * Glossary of commonly used terms and additional information
