Part of the recognised Infertility Management Series, this handbook is a complete guide to ovarian stimulation. Beginning with an overview of the physiology of gonadotropins, the following chapters discuss ways in which clinicians may better predict ovarian response to stimulation and how to select and tailor appropriate protocols. The book covers both oral and injectable agents for stimulation, and protocols for IVF and IUI, egg donors, oncofertility patients, and for low ovarian response. The final chapter details complications in ovarian stimulation, and their prevention and management. Other titles in the series include: Investigating Infertility, Intrauterine Insemination, Practical Management of Male Infertility, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Key points Part of Infertility Management Series providing complete guide to ovarian stimulation Helps clinicians better predict ovarian response and select appropriate treatment protocols Covers oral and injectable agents for different patient groups Edited by recognised team of experts in reproductive medicine
Part of the recognised Infertility Management Series, this handbook is a complete guide to fertility-related abnormalities of the pelvis. Divided into ten sections, the book covers numerous abnormalities, including fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, genital tuberculosis, and other disorders known to have a detrimental effect on the outcome of assisted reproductive treatment. The text concludes with discussion on gynaecological cancer and fertility preservation options. Edited by recognised experts in the field, led by Madrid-based Juan A Garcia-Velasco, the book is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables. Other titles in the series include: Investigating Infertility, Intrauterine Insemination, Practical Management of Male Infertility, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and Ovarian Stimulation. Key points Part of Infertility Management Series providing complete guide to fertility-related pelvic abnormalities Includes discussion on gynaecological cancer and fertility preservation Edited by recognised team of experts in reproductive medicine Features clinical photographs, diagrams and tables
Part of the recognised Infertility Management Series, this handbook is a complete guide to basic laboratory procedures in assisted reproductive technology (ART). The book guides clinicians step by step through the processes, beginning with discussion on semen analysis, cryopreservation of semen samples, and semen selection, to embryo culture, selection and transfer, and oocyte and embryo vitrification. The final chapters cover time-lapse imaging - a new technology for embryo development, design and equipment for the laboratory, and future developments in ART laboratory procedures, including the development of gametes from stem cells. Compiled by a recognised team of editors and contributors,...
This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) for clinicians. Presented in a step by step format, the text begins with an overview of the condition, followed by imaging and diagnosis. The next section covers the effects of PCOS on fertility and management techniques such as ovulation induction and assisted reproductive techniques (ART). The final sections discuss areas for concern and management including weight related effects of PCOS, psychological effects, PCOS in adolescents, implications of PCOS for pregnancy, and medicolegal aspects. The book is full of ‘hot topics’ such as recent advances in PCOS and ART in PCOS, and is further enhanced by clinical images and tables. Key points Comprehensive guide to diagnosis and management of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) In depth coverage of PCOS and infertility Discusses associated issues including weight, psychological effects, and medicolegal factors Full of ‘hot topics’ such as recent advances and ART in PCOS
Offers a comprehensive guide to assisted reproductive technology surveillance, describing its history, global variations, and best practices.

Although endometriosis and adenomyosis are often assessed under the same umbrella, the epidemiology, clinical manifestations and management strategies of endometriosis and adenomyosis occur differently during the life cycle of a woman. Endometriosis can be diagnosed at many points across the lifespan, including adolescence and the climacterium, as well as pregnancy. Being associated with potential adverse health effects, different clinical presentations requiring different therapeutic approaches render it imperative to tailor management strategies for each period of the lifespan: in utero and early life, puberty and adolescence, reproductive years, pregnancy, late reproductive age, and the m...
Human beings have been producing more twins, triplets, and quadruplets than ever before, due to the expansion of medically assisted conception. This book analyzes the anticipatory regimes of making multiple babies. With archival documents, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and registry data, this book traces the global and local governance of the assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) used to tackle multiple pregnancy since the 1970s, highlighting the early promotion of single embryo transfer in Belgium and Japan and the making of the world’s most lenient guidelines in Taiwan.
This book is on ovulation induction and controlled ovarian stimulation which is an integral part of most infertility therapies like intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization. It would deal with causes of anovulation and indications for ovarian stimulation. This book deals with basics as well as current and advanced practices. It provides a step by step protocol for ovarian stimulation. It gives a clear understanding of the science of reproductive endocrinology behind these stimulation protocols and roadmaps the latest therapies, defining their current relevance to treatment. Besides the practical guidance it also covers latest research work done in this field. In this day of information overload it is an attempt to integrate relevant information in a manner which can be applied in infertility practice in evidence based manner, making it rational, logical and rewarding for the reader.
