Summary

• Description:

  Gynaecology is a subject many students find difficult to approach, but these notes organise it clearly and sensitively from first principles. The clinical methods chapter walks you through a complete gynaecological history (including LMP, GTPAL obstetric notation, menstrual history, and sexual history), physical examination (abdominal, speculum, and bimanual with a full explanation of cervical excitation tenderness), and a comprehensive investigations table. The puberty and menstrual cycle chapter explains the HPG axis and the follicular and luteal phases, then covers the full range of menstrual disorders (amenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia, PMS) in a clear classification table. Menopause and andropause are covered with clinical features and management options. The infertility chapter is particularly thorough — causes by factor (ovulatory, tubal, male, uterine, unexplained), investigations for both partners (semen analysis criteria included), management by cause, and ART (IUI, IVF, ICSI). Adolescent and youth health addresses the changes of puberty, common conditions, harmful practices including FGM and child marriage, and the principles of youth-friendly services. The early pregnancy complications chapter distinguishes all six types of abortion in a comparison table, then covers ectopic pregnancy (risk factors, clinical features, medical versus surgical management, anti-D prophylaxis), molar pregnancy with the snowstorm ultrasound appearance and serial hCG monitoring, gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, and hyperemesis gravidarum. Comprehensive, clinically grounded, and respectfully written.
