Synopsis

There is a unique set of circumstances affecting treatment for every patient involved in assisted reproduction, and those with pre-existing medical conditions, or those receiving medical therapies that may impact on the safety and success of their IVF treatment, are particularly challenging. Providing a concise but authoritative source of information to aid clinicians in this important field, this book covers management options for patients with a range of pre-existing diseases and conditions that can impact on the risk and outcomes of IVF treatment. Readily accessible and easy to use, the book also concludes with a helpful chapter on counselling patients who consistently fail to conceive. With expert contributions from leaders in the field, this is a much-needed, innovative resource for clinicians working in IVF and Infertility Units, and for physicians managing patients with systemic disease who are undergoing IVF.

Review

‘This is a very well, apt and concise book on the subjects ... but also provides evidence based discussion of other complex situations such as managing hydrosaplinges and fibroids ... this book should be read by every specialist dealing with large numbers if patients undergoing IVF as they will certainly encounter these patients and will benefit from the up-to-date and accurate data presented here.’ - Highly Commended, Obstetrics & Gynecology Category, 2006 BMA Medical Book Competition
