Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility

In a clear, user-friendly style enhanced by abundant illustrations, algorithms, and tables, the Eighth Edition 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.

Over more than three decades, encompassing seven editions, this text has become the most widely read source on gynaecologic endocrinology and infertility in the world, for a wide range of trainees and professionals who care for women. This book is not so much a reference as a collection of clinical diagnosis and management principles, founded on physiologic principles. Emphasis throughout the work is on approaches that have demonstrated measurable clinical benefit. The information is presented in four parts: reproductive physiology, clinical endocrinology, contraception and infertility.
