Prevention of diseases in gynecology

Sebija Izetbegovic et al. Int J Prev Med. 2013 Dec.

Abstract

Background: Prevention of diseases in gynecology can be improved by better understanding of health promotion and management of diseases. Management is "the art of performing jobs by or with other people" Mary Parker Follet.

Methods: A descriptive analysis was performed on scientific studies in several published articles in medical journals and books.

Results: THERE ARE FIVE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT AS: Anticipate and plan, organize, command, coordinate and control. If we introduce the following definition in the sense of medical science and apply it to the medical practice that would mean way of recognizing, managing and resolving issues of diagnosis and therapy of diseases (in this case gynecology diseases) according to certain guidelines and treatment algorithms. Treatment of family doctors is an important aspect in the quality-of-life of women and their reproductive health as well as a significant issue in public, environmental and social problems.

Conclusions: It is very important to deal with it on the primary care level and in addition to promote the primary and secondary prevention of diseases, which is sometimes more important than the curative procedures. The primary prevention involves regular gynecological examinations and screening. The doctors have also a duty to educate women about the risk factors for malignant diseases, as well as proposing some of the qualitative preventive measures.

Keywords: Diseases; gynecology; malignancies; prevention.
