Understanding Fertility, Paperback / softback Book

Understanding Fertility Paperback / softback

Part of the Understanding Life series

Paperback / softback

Description

Infertility can have devastating physical, emotional and financial effects on people affected.

It is a common problem, but can be hard to talk about, and hard to understand.

In this concise book, Dr Kovacs, a reproductive gynaecologist who has spent the past 40 years working with patients facing fertility problems, focuses on and unpicks key misconceptions.

In his clear explanations, he covers the basic physiology of conceiving, and describes the areas that have to be explored for those who have not yet been able to conceive.

Specific chapters cover the three major problem areas: lack of releasing eggs, sperm problems, and abnormalities of the female passages.

Treatment options are discussed for each of these areas, including technical details and a brief readable overview of their history.

The many ways of parenting which are now available are also detailed.

This is a recommended read for couples wanting to conceive, their friends and families, and anyone who wants to understand fertility.
