Synopsis

This book is written for the general gynaecologist. It gives practical instruction, with clear illustration, in the non-specialist management of infertility. This source provides up-to-date information for a field of study which is undergoing rapid technological change. It explains what the general gynaecologist practising outside a specialist centre can and should do, such as basic investigations to exclude obvious causes of infertility: hormones, laparoscopy, and basic treatment: ovulation induction. The book also describes the techniques of assisted conception available in specialist centers, demystifying an acronym-ridden and fast-moving subject for the benefit of the general gynaecologist who may need to refer patients for specialist treatment. Because infertility is a sensitive" area, the book addresses counselling and support of the infertile couple."

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The field of infertility and practice one of continuous innovation and change. Now in its Third Edition, Infertility in Practice has been updated extensively and beautifully illustrated with informative line diagrams and photographs.

Taken from a modern perspective, the very latest in infertility management has been approached to provide a practical guide for clinicians. The table of contents has been updated to revise such areas as polycystic ovary syndrome, the ethics behind infertility, knowing when to stop treatment, counseling, and reviewing the emerging technologies used in ART.

A thoroughly comprehensive book that provides sound theory and evidence-based therapy, it is a must for an practitioner dealing with infertility.
