Why are Advance Directives Important in Gynecology?
Women may face unique medical situations related to reproductive health, such as pregnancy, contraception, and menopause. Advance directives can help ensure that their wishes are clear regarding procedures like cesarean sections, fertility treatments, and other interventions. In cases of severe complications, such as ectopic pregnancies or cervical cancer, having an advance directive can guide healthcare providers and family members in making informed decisions.
