Opis: Protocols for Semen Analysis in Clinical Diagnosis - Rajasingam S. Jeyendran, R Yeyendran

Unique in this field, Protocols for Semen Analysis in Clinical Diagnosis defines basic semen analysis concepts, provides clinically essential reference values, and elucidates the often subtle relationships between many sperm characteristics and their relevance for clinical diagnosis. Dr. Jeyendran takes readers logically and systematically through each step of the diagnostic process. He discusses the underlying rationale for implementing different kinds of semen analysis, the intricacies of routine versus specialized testing, and additional diagnostic testing. The book provides readers with easy to use procedural protocols and a comprehensive reference.Preface Introduction 1. Sperm Procurement Techniques 2. Semen Collection 3.
