Abstract:
Eating disorders are relatively common and frequently result in gynecologic abnormalities. The gynecologist must appreciate the various manifestations of these complex health problems as well as the biopsychosocial approach needed to help the adolescent or young adult woman recover from these chronic conditions. By recognizing both the medical and gynecologic aspects of eating disorders, the oversimplified viewpoint of considering these conditions as purely psychiatric disorders can be avoided. Open and consistent communication with patients, with a focus on health rather than dysfunction and mental illness, facilitates the acceptance of a comprehensive approach involving the gynecologist, dietitian, and mental health provider.
