SR Print(0) ID 1159957647 T1 Gynecologic History, Examination, & Diagnostic Procedures T2 CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Obstetrics & Gynecology, 12e YR 2019 FD 2019 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9780071833905 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159957647 RD 2024/10/07 AB The gynecologist needs to take a holistic approach when interacting with the patient and not just view her as requiring medical intervention for a specific presenting problem. Rather she should be perceived as an individual who may have a variety of factors contributing to her health status. The initial approach to the gynecologic patient and the general diagnostic procedures available for the investigation of gynecologic complaints are presented here. Although other aspects of the complete physical examination are left to other texts, concern for the patient’s total health and well-being is mandatory.
