The Infertility Manual, 5/E for OBG Postgraduates, Gynecologists and Reproductive Medicine Specialists | Complete ART Guide Covering ICSI, IVF, Embryology and Male and Female Factor Infertility: 1

The Infertility Manual, 5th Edition is a comprehensive reference on reproductive medicine, written by professionals in the field to cover every major aspect of infertility diagnosis and management in a single volume. Across 636 pages, 52 chapters and 9 sections, it is designed as a ready reckoner before examinations - simple, precise, and built around tables and flowcharts for quick reference - while remaining detailed enough to serve as a working clinical resource. The book moves systematically through a general overview (oogenesis and spermatogenesis, the human sperm and egg, endometrial crosstalk, initial investigations, counseling, thyroid disorders and immunology in infertility), endocrinological disorders (menstrual cycle, puberty, PCOS, prolactin, luteal phase defect, obesity and stress), ultrasound in infertility, male factor infertility (semen analysis, sperm damage evaluation, azoospermia and oligoasthenospermia management, surgical sperm retrieval, sperm function tests), and female factor infertility (fertility preservation, congenital uterine malformations, tubal factor infertility and ectopic pregnancy, poor responder management, endometriosis, fibroids, reproductive tract infections, genital tuberculosis, and unexplained infertility). It then covers assisted reproductive technology in depth - including IVF, ICSI, IMSI and IVM, assessment of fertilization, culture systems, cryopreservation, PolScope/embryoscope/assisted hatching, and embryology instruments - before closing with recent advances in infertility and the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act and the Surrogacy Act. Who This Book Is For: Obstetrics & Gynecology Postgraduates (MD/MS/DNB): a ready reckoner before examinations with simple, precise chapters and quick-reference tables and flowcharts. Gynecologists and Reproductive Medicine Specialists: a comprehensive, current-literature-informed reference covering endocrinological, male-factor, and female-factor infertility management. Embryologists: dedicated chapters on IVF/ICSI/IMSI/IVM, culture systems, cryopreservation, and embryology instruments built around the laboratory side of ART. Why This Book Helps: Consolidates the whole infertility workup in one manual: from initial investigations and counseling through endocrinological disorders, male and female factor infertility, to full ART technique, without needing separate specialty texts. Simplifies exam preparation: explicitly built as a ready reckoner before examinations, with simple, precise writing and quick-reference tables and flowcharts. Stays current with the field: novel chapters on molecular mechanisms (endometrial receptivity and implantation, role of USG in infertility) and current trends (PolScope, embryoscope, assisted hatching, recent advances in ART, embryology instruments) reflect the rapid pace of change in reproductive medicine. Covers the legal and regulatory framework: a dedicated chapter on the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act and the Surrogacy Act keeps clinical practice aligned with current Indian regulation. Key Features: 636 pages across 52 chapters and 9 sections spanning general overview, endocrinology, ultrasound, male and female factor infertility, and full ART technique. Novel chapters on Molecular Mechanisms (endometrial receptivity and implantation, role of USG in infertility) and Current Trends (PolScope, embryoscope, assisted hatching, recent advances in ART, embryology instruments). New topic coverage including newer methods in ovarian stimulation, role of environmental factors in sperm damage, immunology in infertility, and sperm function tests. Dedicated chapter on the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act and the Surrogacy Act. Tables and flowcharts throughout for quick reference and rapid exam revision. Read more
