Written by an international team of OB/GYN practitioners, this book offers an overview of the most important and common clinical issues in obstetrics and gynecology, including reproductive endocrinology, gynecologic oncology, maternal-fetal medicine, and sexuality. It provides readers with current information on evidence-based approaches to the management of normal pregnancy, labor and birth, as well as the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of high-risk pregnancy, infertility, and acute and chronic diseases, and psychiatric disorders in women of all ages.

They also provide a thoughtful evaluation of why certain therapies and approaches are more effective than others.
