7PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
The first edition has been a great hit and I am grateful to all for this.
Yes, every line of this book has been critically revised and every reference has been replaced by the latest.
Dear Raz (my wife), Meeca and Warsha (my two daughters) my official apology for troubling you so much for the preparation of this book.
Let me conclude with this universal ‘mantra’ of all Gynaecologists.
So that flowers remain flowers,
remain flowers,
remain flowers
at ease,
at will,
at pleasure
Oh let us
let us
let us.
Best wishes

9PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
Treatment of Gynaecological disorders is essentially drug dependent and recently there has been explosion in Gynaecological pharmacology. Besides, with the increasing availability of ultraprecise sophisticated investigation and monitoring facility the medical options of treatment for Gyane disorders are also increasing, e.g. ectopics now can be treated medically, first trimester abortion can be achieved by drugs alone, fibroids can be made to shrink by drugs, medical curettage even medical hysterectomy (Mirena) can be done by potent newer progestogen, etc. With the establishment of down regulation and up regulation regimes hypothalmus and pituitary have now become the toys in the hands of gynaecologists though, of course, highly sophisticated ones (made extremely simple in this book).
This ready reckoner has been designed to cope with all the above and more and instantly. The greatest beneficiary of this book will be the busy specialists and postgraduates with a ready answer for the most difficult problem. This book will also be extremely helpful for General Practitioners.
The book is based on the latest references.
Any suggestion will be most welcome.
Happy practice !
