Contraception: Your Questions Answered One of the original books in the 'Your Questions Answered' (YQA) series this book serves as a primary source of information about reversible methods of contraception. Written in an informal - and yet highly informative - question-and-answer style it represents a dialogue between general practitioner (asking the questions) and reproductive health specialist (providing the answers). The main aim of the book is to give practical guidance to busy clinicians when they are faced with patients who want help with a health problem; the questions pertain to choosing and using the best means of controlling fertility. Most chapters conclude with questions frequently asked by patients - the answers to which can be very difficult for the unprepared and busy clinician to improvise 'on the spot' in the surgery. Detailed consideration of reversible birth control technology is included. New to the fourth edition is: a two-colour page design and the pill chapter (oral contraceptives) has been divided into two chapters to make it more manageable. New developments covered include: a new vaginal 'ring' device (Nuvaring an Organon product); the patch (Evra) - another method of delivering the pill's hormones; injection - delivery of the pill via injection; and Lunette the mini pill (another Organon product). ...
