Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"This guide to all currently available contraceptive options describes the mechanism, side effects, advantages, and disadvantage of each method. … This book is written for primary care physicians who would be prescribing contraceptives and counseling women on their choices. … The book also provides interesting facts regarding the history of certain types of contraception. … This book is thorough and up to date, and provides useful information so that physicians can effectively counsel a patient on contraception." (Katherine M Krings, Doody’s Book Review Service, January, 2007)



Product Description

The Handbook of Contraception: A Guide for Practical Management provides a comprehensive review of contraception methods for all reproductive-aged women, including those who are young and healthy, postpartum, perimenopausal, adolescent, or who have a medical disease. Because of the vast and diverse list of various contraceptive methods available, this text updates the health care provider with information on safety, practical counseling tools, advantages, and disadvantages of each contraception method. This superb reference offers inclusive information on oral, injectable, emergency, and various cervical barrier contraceptives, as well as behavioral methods of contraception and sterilization methods. An extensive review of currently available laparoscopic and hysterscopic tubal sterilization techniques is also included as well as a chapter introducing the new surgical contraceptive implant, Implanon®.

The Handbook of Contraception: A Guide for Practical Management is designed to give the modern health care provider up-to-date information on safety, side effects, advantages, and practical counseling tools.
