      Gynécologues, obstétriciens, sages-femmes et, bien sûr, médecins généralistes ont fréquemment recours à l’homéopathie pour répondre à des questions quotidiennement posées par leur pratique : ● Que proposer aux femmes enceintes pour les accompagner sans risque tout au long de leur grossesse et pendant l’allaitement ? ● Quelles réponses apporter aux patientes pour lesquelles les traitements hormonaux sont formellement contre-indiqués ou simplement non souhaités ? ● Comment aborder et traiter des pathologies désespérément récidivantes comme les cystites, l’herpès ou les mycoses dans lesquelles le terrain individuel est manifestement impliqué ? ● Quelle place pour l’homéopathie dans la prise en charge des symptômes au moment de la ménopause (bouffées de chaleur, troubles de l’humeur) ? ● Comment prendre en compte l’influence évidente de l’anxiété, du psychique sur l’équilibre général sans avoir recours à des médicaments psychotropes non dénués d’effets indésirables ? ● Comment aborder les soins de support homéopathiques dans des situations courantes de traitement du cancer ? Ce livre apporte des réponses concrètes et pratiques à toutes ces questions. Il se propose, à l’aide de stratégies thérapeutiques simples, d’accompagner tous ceux qui souhaitent intégrer l’homéopathie dans leur pratique de la gynécologie-obstétri... et de guider leurs premières ordonnances.
