This is followed by menarche, menstruation and menstrual problems. The issues related to contraception and subfertility are dealt with in depth. Sexually transmitted diseases and pelvic inflammatory diseases are described followed by benign and malignant neoplasms of the reproductive tract. Menopause and cancer screening is discussed based in the current data and available evidence. There is little doubt that gynecological problems are increasingly managed medically and by minimally invasive surgery and where possible by outpatient procedures. Detailed descriptions of these are provided including the latest in technology.
