Gip - Gynaecology in Practice: Infertility (Paperback)

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.

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

• Complications
• Pre-implantation screening
• Fertility preservation
