En Ginecología podremos ver una primera parte de generalidades que aportan el conocimiento necesario en medicina china en la especialidad. La segunda parte se caracteriza por detallar las patologías más frecuentes en clínica. Cada patología comienza con una breve introducción de medicina occidental y continua con su etiología y fisiopatología según la medicina china. Posteriormente, se especifica la diferenciación de síndromes de cada patología con su tratamiento integrado, es decir, con las prescripciones, dietoterapia y acupuntura recomendadas según proceda. Este manual se realiza con un objetivo docente y por tanto se presenta con una gran abundancia de tablas que resumen y facilitan la asimilación de los contenidos.
