Clinical Challenges in Obstetrics and Gynecology: Interactions Between Gynecological and Obstetric Disorders, Quality of Life, and Mental Health in Women

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine focuses on the complex interactions between gynecological and obstetric disorders, and their profound impact on the quality of life and mental health in women. Despite advancements in clinical care, significant challenges remain in understanding and managing the bidirectional relationship between physical health and psychological well-being in these patients. This Special Issue aims to address core problems such as the lack of comprehensive research on how these disorders influence mental health, and vice versa, as well as the implications for patient care.

The scope of this Special Issue includes original research, reviews, and clinical studies that explore the multifaceted effects of gynecological and obstetric conditions on women’s mental health. Contributions that investigate innovative approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and patient support are particularly encouraged, either in obstetrics, regarding perinatal mental health, or in gynecology, including sexual disorders. Through this Special Issue, we seek to mobilize the scientific community to enhance our understanding of these critical interactions, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
