Reproductive medicine is a rapidly developing subject and the aim of this book is to provide a background of current knowledge and a basis for evaluating new developments as they occur. Topics discussed include the normal developments and physiology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axes, the structure and function of the hupothalamic, pituitary and gonadal hormones, and current understanding of the events of ovulation and fertilization and the endometrial changes of the menstrual cycle. This book provides an up-to-date and well-referenced resume of present-day ideas about the aetiology, diagnosis and management of problems encountered in reproductive medicine, and describes the side effects of drugs used in reproductive medicine.
