This book is conceived with the aim of focusing on the approach to a patient presenting with specific complaint to a clinician. It emphasizes on laying a road map to reach a correct diagnosis in a systematic manner.

For ease of navigation, the book has been divided into two sections: Obstetrics and Gynecology. Each chapter is laid down in a specific format. It begins with the introduction to the topic and a list of likely differential diagnoses based on the presenting complaint. This is followed by a discussion on history taking and examination of the patient guided by the differential diagnoses.

Finally, the various investigations that can be offered to the patient to confirm the diagnosis are discussed. The chapter ends with a summary and a working flowchart for quick reference. The book concises the experience of postgraduates, senior residents and junior consultants through the chapters they have contributed. It also has dedicated chapters on the minor procedures, instruments and screening for cervical cancer.
