The primary principles of medical ethics include autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. These principles serve as a framework for addressing ethical dilemmas in gynecology:
Autonomy: Respecting a patient's right to make informed decisions about their own body and medical treatments. Beneficence: Acting in the best interest of the patient by providing beneficial care. Non-maleficence: Avoiding harm to the patient, ensuring that the benefits of treatment outweigh any risks. Justice: Ensuring fair and equitable treatment for all patients.
