Opis: Oxford Handbook of Reproductive Medicine and Family Planning - Elspeth McVeigh, John Guillebaud, Roy Homburg

Significant advances have been made in treatment strategies in adult and adolescent women's health over the past decade, particularly in relation to reproductive control. The Oxford Handbook of Reproductive Medicine & Family Planning provides practical, evidence-based information on the care and management of adolescents, reproductive age females, and to a lesser extent males. Divided into three main sections, it follows chronological age up to the menopause covering areas such as the embryological development of the reproductive system; puberty and the normal course, and dysfunctions associated with it; dysfunctions of the normal menstrual cycle; the different types of male and female contraceptive methods, and the investigation and management of the infertile couple. This is an essential resource for all practitioners, trainees and students in reproductive medicine. Detailing the basic science behind the conditions, the book will help practitioners to understand the impact of treatments and medication. Nursing Standard, vol 23, no. 8 A simple but useful handbook. It is appropriate for those wanting a basic resource to retrieve information quickly. Doody's Notes Compact enough to slip into a pocket, this handbook gives a good overview...it is well-illustrated with graphs and diagrams...[and includes] information on Nuvaring and the contraceptive sponge, which are not currently available in the UK.
