Introduction

Ukot’s Back to Basics MCQs: Obstetrics and Gynecology (Volume 1) is a structured single-best-answer (SBA) multiple-choice book designed to strengthen core knowledge in obstetrics and gynecology. Each MCQ presents a stem with four options, guiding learners to identify the best possible answer, while the companion notes provide detailed explanations to reinforce key principles and clinical reasoning.

The book covers essential topics in both obstetrics (including antenatal care, abnormal presentations, multiple pregnancy, labor complications, operative deliveries, hypertensive disorders, diabetes in pregnancy, hemorrhage, and the puerperium) and gynecology (including abnormal uterine bleeding, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, menstrual disorders, PCOS, STIs, contraception, fibroids, ovarian tumors, and cervical lesions). Supplementary chapters on differential diagnoses broaden clinical decision-making by addressing common and complex scenarios encountered in practice.
