Gynaecology made simple for medical students U.W.I

ABSTRACT

This book entitled "Gynaecology made simple" is a revised edition of "Short notes in Gynaecology". It was prepared with the fervent wish that you, our medical students, would find it useful as you prepare for your final examinations. We think that a revision on how to take a gynaecological history is vital, especially when one takes into consideration that the final examination in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is heavily weighted in favour of the clinical component. You would find in this booklet common cases in the Gynaecological Clinical Examination such as fibroids, utero-vaginal prolapse, postmenopausal bleeding and ovarian cyst. Topics such as ectopic pregnancy, dilatation and curettage, hysterectomy and sterilization are commonly asked in the Oral Examination. We feel certain that this booklet would also be valuable in your day to day care of patients after graduation. An addition in this edition involves some common cases in the Clinical Examination as well as tips for you in the Oral Examination. It must be emphasized that this booklet must be used in conjunction with the recommended textbook in Gynaecology. We the authors would welcome any constructive criticism (AU)
