When the first edition of this bestselling work on Gynaecology-Obstetrics in Chinese Medicine appeared, Giovanni Maciocia's book was welcomed as one of the most detailed and comprehensive works published in the West on the subject.

Sylviane Burner, his faithful translator, brings you the French version of the revised and expanded second edition. As with all his other works, this book reflects G. Maciocia's teaching talent: he offers here a clear, precise and detailed account of gynaecological-obstetric pathophysiology and of the corresponding treatments in Chinese medicine (acupuncture, Chinese phytotherapy, lifestyle, etc.).

Compared with the first edition, the text has been fully reworked; many new prescriptions and new pathological tableaux have been added; modern medical pathologies such as endometriosis, infertility, myomas and polycystic ovary syndrome are now analysed within the framework of Chinese medicine.

The chapter on obstetrics (labour, pre-, peri- and postnatal care) has been extensively developed.
