Now in its fourth edition, Infertility in Practice is practical and gives the clinician a clear picture of the aetiology of infertility and a careful assessment of the basis for treatment options. A thoroughly comprehensive book that provides sound theory and evidence based therapy, this book is a must for any practitioner dealing with infertility"--Provided by publisher.

Infertility affects about five million individuals of childbearing age in the United States, yet infertility is a subject about which many people are reluctant to talk. This book discusses extensively many options available to individuals struggling with infertility. Infertility can result from a number of causes and affects men and women in equal numbers. Difficulty conceiving can take a heavy toll on couples both physically and psychologically and can lead to depression and marital discord. There are, however, many options available to those struggling with infertility for having a child. These include innovative medical procedures and powerful drugs as well as a variety of alternative treatment approaches, surrogacy, and adoption. A part of Greenwood's Health and Medical Issues Today series, this book provides an overview of these options and examines the many health, financial, and ethical decisions of each that must be considered when choosing one. Part I explores what causes infertility and the history and evolution of its treatment and then examines the options available today, detailing how they work, their success rates, and their risks. Additionally, it addresses controversial topics such as the legislation of assisted reproductive technologies and the regulation of fertility clinics. Part II delves into the many scientific, economic, and ethical debates that surround infertility treatment, presenting a clear and objective analysis of the issues. Part III provides a variety of useful supplementary materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, a glossary, and a directory of resources.

Quatrième de couverture : "Trois décennies se sont écoulées depuis l'événement historique constitué par la naissance de Louise Brown le 25 juillet 1978 au Royaume-Uni, le premier enfant conçu par Fécondation in vitro. Depuis quelques années, le champ de l'assistance médicale à la procréation a largement dépassé le cadre de la prise en charge du couple infertile. En effet, les avancées techniques rendent désormais possible la congélation d'embryons, d'ovocytes et de tissu ovarien en vue d'une utilisation future. Parallèlement, les progrès thérapeutiques dans la prise en charge des cancers de l'enfant et du jeune adulte ont permis une augmentation significative des taux de survie, au prix, dans un nombre non négligeable de cas, d'une réduction du potentiel de fertilité. Ainsi, les techniques visant à préserver cette fertilité avant initiation du traitement gonadotoxique doivent désormais faire partie intégrante de la prise en charge multidisciplinaire du cancer chez l'enfant et les patients en âge de procréer. Au-delà du cancer, la préservation de la fertilité se doit également d'être envisagée devant toute situation médicale susceptible de différer le projet parental. Comme toute discipline émergente touchant au domaine de la procréation, la préservation de la fertilité soulève de nombreuses questions psychologiques, éthiques et juridiques."
