Psychosomatic Office Gynecology

Abstract

More than half the gynecic complaints heard in office practice are largely functional. The author advises that the psychiatric specialist should treat the more complex psychoses, but suggests that the general practitioner or gynecologist can and should manage functional disturbances of menstruation, pelvic pain in the absence of major objective gynecic pathology, leukorrhea, sterility and frigidity. He also reviews various therapeutic measures which may be applied.
