Obstetric and Gynecologic Disorders and the Nervous System
Purpose Of Review:
This article highlights the multiple intersections between obstetric/gynecologic issues and neurologic disorders.
Recent Findings:
Neurologic issues can arise related to contraceptive medications, infertility treatments, pregnancy, and menopause. This article explores these areas in chronologic order, beginning with women's neurologic conditions that overlap their reproductive years and those that may occur during pregnancy and continuing through menopause. For each disorder, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, complications, and best sex-based treatment are described. Recent findings and treatments are highlighted.
Summary:
Obstetric and gynecologic disorders may present with neurologic symptoms, so it is important for neurologists to understand these intersections to deliver the best care for our female patients.
