- Description
- The contributors of this volume examine the therapeutic role of medical marijuana in women's medicine and its implications for fertility and maternal/child health. The book includes treatises on many gender-specific conditions in obstetrics and gynecology as well as female-prodominant medical conditions that are popularly treated with cannabis, such as multiple sclerosis and hyperemesis gravidarum, a debilitating ailment characterized by severe nausea and vomiting, malnutrition, and weight loss during pregnancy.
