In this powerful debut, Rebecca Dimyan details her experience with endometriosis, a chronic disease which effects one in ten women worldwide. This painful condition takes an average of seven years to be diagnosed and has no proven cure. Most women will undergo multiple surgeries, take countless painkillers and other drugs, and will still endure regular pain and other complications. With honesty, vulnerability, and sometimes humor, Dimyan explores the ways the condition has impacted her experiences, her body, her pain, and her joy. She takes her audience on an emotional journey through her teenage years, early twenties, and into her thirties as she becomes a professional woman, wife, and mother. Dimyan blends research, anecdotes, and advice as she shares the relief she's found through alternative treatments and holistic medicine. Chronic isn't just a story about one woman's illness— it is a memoir about all the pain, pleasure, heartbreak, friendship, love, and hope she experiences on her path to healing.

This book will focus on the harmful effect of environmental toxins on female reproductive health. Reproduction is the basis of the continuation of human beings, and environment is the basis of human survival. However, environmental pollution has become a potential risk factor for human reproductive health, which not only leads to many chronic diseases, but also causes certain harm to reproductive health. Compared to male reproduction, female reproductive process is more complex, the reproductive system is more fragile, and is more vulnerable to be damaged. The aim of this book is to review the research progress, to address the challenges, and to stimulate the development in the direction of environment and female reproductive health.

​​To many patients and indeed health care professionals, IVF is the ultimate treatment for infertility. However in many cases IVF is not feasible and may not be indicated. IVF remains a largely inefficient procedure that often does not succeed in a achieving a pregnancy. There remains a strong place for other fertility interventions, many of them surgical in nature. Surgical interventions can be used as a stand-alone fertility treatment or as an adjuvant treatment used in conjunction with other assisted conception treatments. Despite the continuing use of such techniques by reproductive surgeons, there remains a clear gap in the literature regarding resources to supplement formal training in the field or to provide a reference for established and aspiring practitioners.

Although there are several strategies for fertility preservation in female, most of them are still considered experimental. It is important to perfect the existing technologies, but also developing new strategies should be actively sought. The future development of fertility preservation strategies should be based on the sound scientific knowledge and principles. One of the main objectives of fertility preservation in females is prevention of oocyte depletion. The mechanisms of oocyte loss and survival in the ovary are complex, which include genetic control both in germ cells and in somatic cells, DNA damage and repair mechanism, apoptosis and autophagy, and other poorly understood molecular mechanisms. To develop clinically effective and safe strategies for fertility preservation, it is essential to know and understand the fundamentals of oocyte and ovarian biology at the molecular level. Thus, the purpose of this edition is to review the current progress in research related to molecular and genetic control of oocyte development that can be applied to fertility preservation. The main topics that are discussed in this publication include molecular signaling mechanisms of oocyte activation and loss, genomic integrity of oocytes, and epigenetics.​

The aim of this book is to provide a straightforward summary of the knowl­ edge required for examinations in specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Part Two of the examination for Membership of the Royal College of Ob­ stetricians and Gynaecologists would be a good example. The volume is intended as a companion to the highly successful Basic Sciences for Ob­ stetrics and Gynaecology which covers the knowledge required for pre­ liminary examinations. Increasingly, examinations of all types are based on multiple choice ques­ tions (MCQ) or structured answer questions (SAQ). No apology is made for the fact that the present book addresses the sort of'fact'which lends itself to testing by this approach. Thus, there is little discussion of specula­ tive or contentious areas, no account of present or future research, and no references. Numerous excellent books are available which cover these top­ ics in a much fuller and more discursive manner, and the present volume does not seek to emulate them.

This is the 1st edition of the book Donald School Manual of Practical Problems in Obstetrics. The text is comprehensive, updated as per the present day requirements in the subject of obstetrics. This is re-edited book which was originally written by Professor Ian Donald. In this edition of the book an effort is made to review literature and experience of experts Indian obstetricians towards pregnancy and labor. The book has 39 chapters. The first chapter deals with antenatal care and antepartum fetal surveillance. Chapter two provides a comprehensive description of first trimester examination and pregnancy confirmation. Subsequent chapters are dedicated to prenatal diagnosis, termination of pregnancy, teenaged and elderly gravida and bad obstetric history. Book further describes labor, associated conditions with labor, obstetric haemorrhage, pre and post maturity. Last part of the book deals with diet and exercise during pregnancy and prescribing drugs during pregnancy. A comprehensive index is given at last.

In obstetrics and gynecology, as in other medical disciplines, great satisfaction comes from doing, but a greater satisfaction comes from knowing. The desire to know raises clinical practice to its highest level. This principle guided us in determining the objectives for this volume. Several standard textbooks of obstetrics and gynecology include information about infectious problems. Infectious Diseases in the Female Patient is unique in that it emphasizes primarily the basic science as­ pects of infections in obstetrics and gynecology. Although providing a practitioner's handbook was not our goal, the reader nevertheless will find discussions of the management of infections in the female pa­ tient. The continued growth of knowledge about infectious disease en­ countered in obstetrics and gynecology has come from many sources: bacteriology, virology, genetics, immunology, biochemistry, physiol­ ogy, and pharmacology. Insights from all these disciplines contribute to the conceptual framework of this volume. Many of the authors who contributed to this text are leaders in their respective areas of research and bring to the book a diversity of ex­ pertise and experience. Controversial issues are developed in a bal­ anced fashion, and, in most cases, opposing views are discussed. Since medical texts usually are read piece-meal rather than cover to cover, we have allowed some overlap between chapters. The slight degree of redundancy allows each chapter to stand on its own, so that the reader may obtain the necessary information from a single chapter.

Jusqu'à la fin des années 1950, la faiblesse féminine a toujours été démontrée médicalement et justifiait à écarter les femmes des terrains de sport. En remplaçant la vision « unisexe » de la médecine et du sport où l'homme est la norme par un modèle qui respecte les différences, la « gynécologie du sport » s'appuie sur un courant cherchant à constituer une médecine de la spécificité féminine. Pratiqué en loisir ou en compétition, le sport chez la femme possède certes des avantages mais n'est pas dénué de risques qu'il faut savoir prévenir et guérir par une prise en charge adaptée. On s'étonnera du fait que la plupart des données rapportées dans l'ouvrage restent méconnues. Différentes raisons peuvent expliquer cela : l'arrivée relativement récente des femmes dans un monde sportif très masculinisé ; les nombreux préjugés et interdits qui continuent d'exister ; le fait que, jusque dans les années 1980, la femme ait été exclue des principales recherches scientifiques effectuées dans le cadre du sport et enfin la dissémination des résultats dans des revues de spécialités diverses. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de contribuer au développement de cette discipline et de faire prendre conscience aux lecteurs auxquels il s'adresse : gynécologues, médecins du sport, médecins généralistes, éducateurs physiques, entraîneurs, que la qualité des soins donnés aux femmes peut être affectée par des préjugés médicaux qu'il est urgent de combattre afin que les femmes trouvent autant d'avantages que les hommes à développer leurs aptitudes physiques.
