Description:The book grows progressively thicker, reflecting the explosion of knowledge in reproductive biology and medicine. Nevertheless, we believe we have stayed true to our objective: to provide both factual knowledge and systematic approaches to clinical problems. Our text continues to be an expression and formulation of our collective professional activities as teachers, investigators, and most importantly, as clinicians in the field of reproductive endocrinology and infertility. We have tried to retain the style and clinical relevance of our first edition, but at the same time to provide all the new information. This basic knowledge is the foundation for the physiologic principles that in turn are the foundation for our methods of clinical management. [show more]
