Opis

The investigation and management of infertility has progressed radical ly since the advent of in vitro fertilization. It has ceased to be the province of the gynecologist alone, and often requires the co-operati on of gynecologists, andrologists, endocrinologists, embryologists, ge neticists, general scientists, psychologists, radiologists, nurses, ul trasonographers, social workers, medical administrators, and lawyers. Many of these do not have a medical background and fewer still have kn owledge of the gynecological terms which are still in predominant use. Furthermore, scientific advances have led to the introduction of tech niques and terms unfamiliar to the non-scientist, including the gyneco logist. This dictionary of reproductive medicine, the first of its kin d, has been conceived to address the concerns of all of these groups.
