Conditions of the vulva are very common but often taboo, and can badly affect people's sex life, comfort and self-confidence. Despite this, clinicians receive little training in these conditions. This comprehensive yet handy third edition has been fully updated with research giving new insights into vulval diseases, vulvo-vaginal pain and vaginitis. Full-colour clinical photographs and illustrations demonstrate the clinical appearance of a wide spectrum of conditions. Chapters are organised by clinical presentation for ease of reference and information is presented practically, covering misconceptions and common patient questions. Co-written by a dermatologist and a gynaecologist - both specializing in vulval conditions - the handbook provides a unique visual and written guide to the diagnosis, treatment and management of both acute and chronic vulval presentations and explores the latest opinions on causation and classification of neoplasia in the vulva.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'I have read numerous genital dermatology books that have many more pages than this paperback. The value is in the experience the authors have in treating these often frustrating and tricky dermatologic conditions. All dermatologists should read this book and not automatically refer these patients to a specialist. There are many options that dermatologists can offer patients with these problems. We just need to learn what to do!' Patricia Wong, Doody's Reviews
