Help your patients through the maze of infertility treatments
Infertility is suffered by around 1 in 7 couples and can be a source of confusion for both partners, providing high stress on relationships. 25% of cases are explained through male infertility, 50% through female infertility, whilst 25% are generally unexplained. The possible causes and solutions are many and complex.
Infertility, one of the first in the new Gynecology in Practice series, assists gynecologists and family practitioners to better care for their patients who have trouble conceiving. The authors provide a strong focus on effective diagnosis and management. Following a review of the factors that affect fertility, Infertility takes a practical approach to:
- Evaluation of fertility
- Management and treatment
- Complications
- Pre-implantation screening
- Fertility preservation
Gynecology in Practice
The Gynecology in Practice series provides clinical ‘in the office’ or ‘at the bedside’ guides to effective patient care for gynecologists. The tone is practical, not academic, with authors offering guidance on what might be done and what should be avoided. The books are informed by evidence-based practice and feature:
- Algorithms and guidelines where they are appropriate
- ‘Tips and Tricks’ boxes – hints on improving outcomes
- ‘Caution’ warning boxes – hints on avoiding complications
- ‘Science Revisited’ – quick reminder of the basic science principles
- Summaries of key evidence and suggestions for further reading
