| Summary |
"Over the last 20 years Contraception: Your Questions Answered has become established in a number of countries as the touchstone for all the methods of reversible contraception: both as essential reading and as an invaluable source of reference. The book represents a dialogue between a busy general practitioner and a specialist in sexual and reproductive health, building up information in a logical question-and-answer format." "The fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and covers all the most recent data and guidelines for contraceptive selection and best practice from the WHO's eligibility criteria, which Professor Guillebaud helped to devise. Where there is as yet no firm evidence either way, Professor Guillebaud gives straightforward advice about what he believes should be done, based on his experience, and what we do know pending more data." "Contraception: Your Questions Answered is not only invaluable for doctors and nurses in Primary Care and family planning, it can also usefully be on the bookshelves of medical students, trainees and consultants in gynaecology, genitourinary medicine and related disciplines."--BOOK JACKET |
