    • French
    Cet ouvrage consacré à l’endométriose a pour objectif de rassembler les connaissances actuelles sur le sujet et de donner au praticien les clés pour répondre aux différentes situations cliniques. La prise en charge de l’endométriose est un thème majeur de santé publique dont l’enjeu épidémiologique est conséquent : la pathologie touche 10 à 20 % des femmes. Il s’agit de la première cause d’infertilité en France alors même qu’il faut en moyenne sept ans pour établir le diagnostic. Le livre structuré en neuf parties constitue une mise au point didactique sur le sujet. Richement illustré, il détaille ainsi les aspects épidémiologiques et physiopathologiques, intégrant l’exploration, et aborde toutes les formes d’endométriose, du diagnostic à la prise en charge (traitements médicamenteux, non-médicamenteux, chirurgicaux). Il traite également les spécificités liées à l’adolescence, la fertilité et la grossesse mais aussi le versant psychologique de la maladie notamment associé à la douleur. À partir de leur expérience clinique et des données scientifiques les plus récentes, les auteurs, spécialistes de l’endométriose, tentent de répondre aux questions des professionnels de santé pour pouvoir ainsi offrir à chaque femme une prise en charge personnalisée.
