Male factor infertility is a common problem in reproductive medicine and can have a significant effect of the outcome of IVF treatment. This comprehensive book covers the diagnosis and treatment of male factor infertility in depth. It opens with a section on the basic science underlying the production of male gametes.

DIVThis book is a discourse analysis of a series of interviews with women and couples who have had IVF unsuccessfully and who have subsequently stopped treatment. Taking a feminist approach, the book argues that treatment failure produces an ongoing and profoundly gendered burden of discursive work that is oriented towards locating the self, and the engagement with IVF, as normal.br/divDIVIntroduction * A Feminist Approach to IVF * Normalising IVF: Negotiating Nature and Technology * Coping with Consumption * Managing Visability * Taking Responsibility * Seeking Resolution * Conclusionbr/divDIVbKaren Throsby/bis a Lecturer in Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science.br/div

Atlas of Clinical Urology: Impotence and Infertility

Principles of Infertility Nursing

The aim of this book is to fill the gap between the standard textbooks of obstetrics & gynecology - which do not cover (conservative) infertility treatment - and the specialized textbooks on ART - which don't address topics such as ovulation induction/IUI and the typical treatment of disorders associated with infertility, such as hyperandrogenism and endometriosis. In many countries, the management of infertility treatment is not done by IVF specialists but by general gynecologists or primary health practitioners. In most countries, specific training and/or a license is required to do 'invasive' infertility treatments, such as IVF/ICSI; however, conservative or semi-conservative treatments - such as IUI with or without ovulation induction - can be done without specific training/licensing. This concise, clinically oriented handbook is predominantly written for gynecologists, primary health practitioners, and medical students who want to improve their knowledge on this aspect of their work. Furthermore the aim is to highlight which types of disorders may be treated by conservative means and which types of disorder should be treated by invasive treatment options such as IVF/ICSI.

Infertility: Perspectives from Stress and Coping Research

This volume is divided into sections highlighting areas of advancement or controversy in the treatment and approach to male factor infertility. The introductory section provides updates on hormonal evaluation and male infertility as well as highlights developments and our current understanding of evaluation of male factor infertility, the assessment of sperm structure and function, and issues related to female fertility. The fundamentals that are required for a urologist to be an effective collaborator with reproductive endocrinologists are also outlined. The second section discusses our understanding of the varicocele, the changing approach of the varicocele, and updates literature regarding the effectiveness of this commonly treated form of male factor infertility. The next section addresses ejaculatory abnormalities. There are many areas of controversy in the therapy of male infertility, and these are reviewed related in terms of medical therapy as well as surgical therapy. Articles devoted to genetic foundations provide the urologist with a genetic primer as well as the essentials required to understand the role of genetic abnormalities in male factor infertility. Finally, information on the effect of aging is also presented, since as our population ages, it happens more frequently that older men are attempting to achieve pregnancies with younger partners.
