Psychosomatic Gynaecology - On the Endocrinology of Skin and Psyche
Journal Title: Journal of Andrology & Gynaecology - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Skin and psyche play an incidental, yet important role in daily gynaecological practice. As in any medical field, specialists often see patients with problems that do not fall within the scope of their primary practice. Yet, most gynaecologists are aware of the close interactions of somatic and psychic issues in their patients. Since many female patients have come to consider their gynecologist to be a primary care practitioner for females, gynaecologists cannot only offer a personal access to their patients but have them benefit from examining the interactions between soma and psyche. Especially as to issues of skin and psyche, patients welcome professional advice to improve both their outer appearance and their inner experiencing. Since hormones have always played an important role in gynecology, doctors can utilize them to intervene on skin and on psyche in one or another way.
