商品簡介
Chavez-Badiola and Allahbadia, fertility specialists in Mexico and India, compile 28 chapters that outline a milder, safer approach to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and contemporary assisted reproduction technologies that minimize ethical and clinical complications. An international group of reproductive specialists describe mild ovarian stimulation approaches, including natural cycle and minimal stimulation IVF and protocols for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and long cycles, as well as the impact on premature ovulation and cycle cancellation. They also discuss the normal physiology of folliculogenesis and the effect of stimulation; the use of oral contraceptives, clomiphene citrate, gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists, and aromatase inhibitors; endometrial receptivity; follicular aspiration and flushing; single embryo transfer; cryopreserving techniques; patients with poor ovarian response and those at risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; low cost IVF for developing countries; a case study of one fertility center; and other aspects.
