Description
Helps providers approach the specific issues that women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face throughout their lifetimes, and better equip them to counsel and support women of all ages with IBD.

In Women’s Health in IBD, Drs. Bincy P. Abraham, Sunanda V. Kane, and Kerri L. Glassner focus on the unique aspects of care for women with IBD. Half of the IBD patient population is female. As we understand more about gender and sex differences in terms of genetics, physiology, and medical care, it is important to consider these factors between men and women to personalize their care. 

This book encompasses the entire life span of the female IBD patient through birth, adolescence, pregnancy, menopause, and older adult years. Each chapter includes discussions of medications, treatment plans, and common questions or controversies on important topics in IBD such as:
  • Transitioning from pediatric to adult care
  • Diet and nutrition
  • Mental health
  • Health maintenance
  • Family planning
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Menopause 
  • Concomitant irritable bowel syndrome
Women’s Health in IBD: The Spectrum of Care From Birth to Adulthood is an essential text that will help anyone who treats women with IBD, offering practical tools and takeaways for point of care and beyond.
