Overview

This book presents a critical and practical approach to the diagnosis and management of unexplained infertility. It considers reproductive physiology and pathology, and then draws on these sections to describe and critically to appraise the investigations used to exclude known causes. Having proposed a working definition of unexplained infertility on the basis of these investigations, the authors consider the management of the condition. They discuss the prognisis for untreated couples, and evaluate the role of new reproductive techniques. They particularly emphasize the emotional needs of affected couples. This text should be of value to obstetricians, gynaecologists, and any professional involved in the care of infertile couples.
