by Marc Fritz

Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Established as one of the world's most widely read gynecology texts, Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility is now in its Seventh Edition. In a clear, user-friendly style enhanced by abundant illustrations, the book provides a complete explanation of the female endocrine system and its disorders and offers practical guidance on evaluation and treatment of female endocrine problems and infertility. Coverage includes the latest information on contraception and infertility and new guidelines on hormone replacement therapy during menopause. An eminent reproductive endocrinologist, Marc Fritz, MD, joins Dr. Speroff for this edition.

Book News Annotation:

The 7th edition of this text, edited by Speroff (Oregon Health & Science U., Portland) and Fritz (U. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), features updated material and bibliography reflecting developments in the science. The textbook devotes eight chapters to reproductive physiology, then turns to clinical endocrinology, with chapters on topics that include sexual development, abnormal puberty and growth, amenorrhea, obesity, and reproduction and thyroid. The final two sections, on contraception and infertility, include chapters on long- acting methods of contraception, female and male infertility, endometriosis, induction of ovulation, assisted reproductive technologies, and ectopic pregnancy.

This completely updated Sixth Edition reflects the growth of reproductive biology and medicine. While adhering to the style and relevance of the first edition, the editors set out to provide the latest information and research on reproductive physiology, contraception, infertility, and clinical endocrinology.

Comprehensive, relevant, and highly informative, this edition truly lends itself to the improvement of patient care in the field of clinical reproductive endocrinology.
