Gynaecological Symptoms

Abstract

Gynaecological symptoms such as menstrual disorders are a common feature of endocrine diseases. They may not be the most striking clinical manifestation of the condition, however, and the patient may not be seen by a gynaecologist. In this article the emphasis is on those conditions whose main symptom might be described as “gynaecological.” Several symptoms, mainly menstrual upsets, will be considered, their endocrine causes indicated, and brief reference made to other possible explanations where this seems desirable. © 1972, British Medical Journal Publishing Group.
