Riassunto:

Despite the fact that about half of infertility problems stem from male factors, gynecologists are often the first health care providers to perform the initial assessment of the infertile couple. For this reason, it is critical that gynecologists and reproductive medicine specialists remain up to date on the primary conditions that cause male infertility, as well as current diagnostic tools and treatment options of both natural and assisted conception. From diagnosis through treatment, Male Infertility: Management of Infertile Men in Reproductive Medicine offers expert, straightforward guidance on the pathophysiology and management of male infertility for clinicians who assist couples early in the process of trying to conceive.

• Covers diagnostic aspects of male infertility (clinical, laboratory, and imaging methods) as well as various therapeutic options including classical and advanced surgical procedures.
• Discusses intrauterine insemination, conventional in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, sperm cryopreservation, preimplantation genetic testing, and more.
• Begins each chapter with key points and ends with clinical scenarios of real-life problems and their solutions.
• Shares the knowledge and expertise of global experts in the field.
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Any additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.
