Promoting gynecologic health in young and middle-age women.
A holistic approach to gynecologic health addresses more than the physical problems associated with the reproductive organs and breasts. The article presents information about selected gynecologic health issues for young and middle-age women (17 to 60 years) in a context that considers other aspects of the client, such as the woman's age, life style, health behaviors, culture and ethnicity, and education. Strategies to promote gynecologic health are discussed in relation to these aspects.
