About This Book

A practical medical manual addressing illnesses and reproductive conditions affecting females across life stages, outlining causes, symptoms, degrees of danger, prevention, and treatment. It combines theoretical discussion of embryology, fetal development, membranes, and the afterbirth with guidance on infant nutrition and care. A large portion presents midwifery technique and recommended qualifications, giving step-by-step directions for normal, difficult, and preternatural births and for postnatal diet and regimen for mother and child. Separate chapters consider virgin-specific disorders, menstrual and related afflictions, and the physiological aspects of sexual intercourse, blending clinical observation with procedural instruction for both practitioners and informed readers.
