Description
By Tiao-Virirak Kattygnarath MD
Management of Infertility, Volume I: Foundations is a comprehensive and evidence-based reference that addresses the essential principles and diagnostic evaluation of infertility. This volume provides the scientific and clinical foundation upon which all infertility management strategies are built, making it an indispensable guide for reproductive endocrinologists, obstetrician-gynecologists, urologists, embryologists, fertility nurses, trainees, and clinicians involved in fertility care.
This book integrates physiology, epidemiology, and diagnostic methodology with practical, step-by-step clinical guidance. It organizes the complex evaluation of infertility into systematic pathways designed for direct application in practice.
Key topics include:
- Reproductive physiology and endocrinology: fundamental concepts of ovarian, uterine, tubal, and testicular function, gametogenesis, and the hormonal regulation of reproduction
- Female infertility evaluation: detailed history-taking, physical examination, ovarian reserve testing (AMH, AFC, FSH/E2), ovulatory function assessment, endocrine investigations, imaging strategies, tubal patency tests, uterine cavity evaluation, and genetic considerations
- Male infertility evaluation: semen analysis with current reference standards, sperm morphology thresholds, endocrine workup, genetic testing, varicocele assessment, and indications for advanced diagnostic testing
- Preconception optimization: vaccination, infection screening, medication review, lifestyle modification, nutrition, and environmental exposures
This volume serves as both a teaching resource and a practical manual. For trainees, it provides a framework for mastering infertility evaluation. For practicing clinicians, it functions as a ready reference for cycle planning, test interpretation, and patient counseling.
Management of Infertility, Volume I: Foundations lays the groundwork for the entire series. It ensures that clinicians approach infertility with a clear, standardized, and evidence-based strategy that maximizes diagnostic yield, reduces unnecessary interventions, and optimizes patient care.
