With the increased prevalence of subfertility (any form of reduced fertility with prolonged time of unwanted non-conception) and the number of subfertile patients turning to assisted reproductive clinics for help, Subfertility: Recent Advances for Management and Prevention is a much-needed resource for today’s health care providers. Written by doctors with extensive expertise in the areas of reproductive physiology and endocrinology, it provides a description of the methods for achieving conception, an overview of the causes of subfertility and how to detect them, a review of the psychological impact of subfertility, guidelines for the treatment of subfertility, and a look at assisted reproductive technologies.

Key Features

Provides a holistic approach to the causes and treatment of subfertility, with guidance on selecting patients on the basis of ovarian reserve/sperm parameters and the management of special endocrine abnormalities like polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, and thyroid disorders.
Offers a concise review of the most recent advances for improving assisted reproductive techniques.
Covers reproductive physiology and the causes of subfertility, with special focus on endocrine abnormalities that lead to subfertility.
Consolidates today’s available information on this timely topic into a single, convenient resource.
