A comprehensive and practical account of how to set up and run a successful IUI and ovulation induction program.

Intrauterine insemination and ovulation induction is effective first-line treatment for infertility in many straightforward cases and is preferred by many clinicians because they are less invasive than in-vitro fertilization and its variants. This is a comprehensive account of how to set up and run a successful IUI program. The book addresses the practical aspects of treatments that will produce optimum results in terms of pregnancy outcome and safety, as well as the pharmacological and physiological reasons for their use. Chapters on how to prevent complications of ovulation induction such as multiple births and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome are included, as well as how to diagnose infertility in both sexes. Laboratory procedures for sperm preparation are described in detail. Worldwide resources for obtaining donor sperm and legal issues that surround the management of patients are included. This manual is of interest to reproductive medicine specialists, general practitioners and general obstetrician gynecologists.

Approximately 15% of couples experience difficulty in conceiving and a proportion of them may require assisted conception treatment to alleviate continuing infertility. Intrauterine insemination is an effective first line treatment in properly selected cases and is less invasive than in vitro fertilisation and its variants. This multi-authored text is a comprehensive account of how to set up and run a successful intrauterine insemination program. It provides a very practical account and explains clearly the scientific and medical issues. The various chapters deal with design and equipment of the unit, patient selection, counselling, ovarian stimulation strategies, the role of ultrasonography, semen analysis and sperm preparation, intrauterine insemination techniques, semen cryopreservation and banking and complications. The contributing authors are all experienced practitioners and researchers in reproductive medicine and have created a manual that will be useful to full range of professionals involved in the provision of care for infertile couples such as clinicians, andrologists, embryologists, other scientists, nurses, counsellors, psychotherapists and managerial staff. Because of its clear presentation, students and patients will also find the volume informative.

This publication will be an invaluable guide to scores of Infertility practitioners, postgraduate students and ART specialists across the world. Manual of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) covers all the aspects of the latest technologies, including the most recent topic of Vitrification. There are numerous photographs which makes the subject appealing as well as easy to understand. Each topic has been elaborated in depth so as to impart profound knowledge to readers. Several of them have written to me about the clarity of.

The new edition of this infertility manual has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of infertility. Divided into seven sections, the book provides step by step guidance on each stage of the process, from initial examination and identifying the causes of infertility in both females and males, to ovarian stimulation and assisted reproduction techniques. The final section is dedicated to laboratory management covering topics such as follicular fluid screening and oocyte assessment, culture systems, and cryopreservation. The fourth edition includes new chapters on molecular mechanisms such as endometrial receptivity, and implantation; and current trends such as the embryoscope and assisted hatching. The comprehensive text is further enhanced by case studies, clinical photographs, diagrams, flowcharts and tables.

The new edition of this canonical text on male reproductive medicine will cement the book's market-leading position. Practitioners across many specialties - including urologists, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, medical endocrinologists and many in internal medicine and family practice – will see men with suboptimal fertility and reproductive problems. The book provides an excellent source of timely, well-considered information for those training in this young and rapidly evolving field. While several recent books provide targeted 'cookbooks' for those in a male reproductive laboratory, or quick reference for practising generalists, the modern, comprehensive reference providing both a background for male reproductive medicine as well as clinical practice information based on that foundation has been lacking until now. The book has been extensively revised with a particular focus on modern molecular medicine. Appropriate therapeutic interventions are highlighted throughout.
