Abstract:
The general practitioner called upon to provide medical care to the older woman for diseases other than gynecological or obstetric illness, should not neglect to recommend gynecological cancer screening, which is of particular importance in this group. In many differential diagnoses, the general practitioner must also give consideration to gynecological-obstetric aspects. Thus, for example, when a patient presents with lower abdominal pain, gynecological pathology must always be taken into account. Numerous preparations with differing actions and applications used in contraception or hormone therapy in the post-menopausal woman, require individual counseling by the gynecologist.
