Sports Gynecology

This volume reviews all common issues relative to gynaecologic and reproductive problems in the physically-active woman. Since women face different problems depending on their age and hormone status, this book also presents a review of the normal physiology. This is important as minor deviations from normal can occur in competitive situations and may be upsetting to athletes. Rational plans for advising and managing athlete patients are based on current knowledge and the authors' own experience which is derived from years in clinical practice. The book provides practical information to health care providers, coaches, trainers and athletes. It should also inspire researchers to provide even more answers to questions in the growing field of sports experience.
