About this book

This book offers a comprehensive and clinically relevant survey of adolescent gynecology. Adolescent Gynecology: A Clinical Casebook addresses the many intersecting considerations of gynecologic and reproductive health care for this population using a concise, case-based format.

 Organized in four sections, the first introduces chapters on adolescent confidentiality, puberty, and well care. Section II covers varied menstrual disorders, while Section III highlights issues in reproductive health care including sexually transmitted infection and adolescent pregnancy. Finally, Section IV addresses special populations of adolescents, including chapters on girls who have sex with girls, girls who are victims of abuse and girls with special health care needs and chronic health conditions. In each section common gynecologic health issues are discussed in the context of these clinical cases, provide the knowledge needed to further improve comprehensive care of adolescent patients.

Adolescent Gynecology: A Clinical Casebook is a unique resource that delivers essential clinical information for Adolescent Medicine and Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology fellowship trainees, as well as for medical students, resident trainees, and primary care practitioners who are the front-line caregivers for adolescent girls.

Reviews

“This is a practical clinical casebook on adolescent gynecology, a much needed resource for clinical providers. … Physician assistants who are involved in the clinical care of adolescents also would find this book useful. … This is an excellent, well‐organized, and well‐presented clinically relevant resource about a challenging topic in pediatrics and adolescent medicine. It is a valuable book for students as well as clinical providers and, as an editor of a pediatric review journal, I can highly recommend it.” (Joseph Hageman, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)
