This volume offers guidance on the evaluation and treatment of reproductive endocrinopathies and infertility. The book reviews the underlying physiology and pathophysiology of these disorders, describes contemporary pharmacological and surgical treatments, and presents definitive treatment recommendations based on current scientific and clinical data. The first section focuses on reproductive endocrinopathies, such as disorders of puberty, irregularities of the ovarian-menstrual cycle, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, amenorrhoea, hyperprolactinaemia, and androgen excess disorders. Also included are chapters on menopause, oral contraceptives, and dynamic testing of glandular reserve. The second section discusses current methods for evaluation and treatment of infertilty. Coverage includes detailed information on reproductive surgery, gamete technologies, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues, drugs used for ovulation induction, and molecular technologies in reproductive medicine, as well as on the correction of endometriosis, uterine anomalies and ectopic pregnancy.
