Description
Concentrating on the clinically relevant, this text thoroughly covers reproductive endocrinology and contraception, but focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. All the available therapies for each condition are presented and where there is more than one treatment, specific recommendations are made. The effectiveness and side effects of contraception are covered and, again, specific recommendations are made.
