Algorithms in Infertility and Reproductive Medicine 2024

Infertility is a worldwide problem, affecting couples in their reproductive age which causes considerable social, emotional,
and psychological stress not only for the couples but also their families. It affects up to one in six couples and remains a major
cause of distress in both men and women. Concerns about fertility continue to grow across the world, since lifestyle choices
and social pressures have caused couples to delay childbirth. The increase in the mean age at which couples decide to plan
a pregnancy has also led to a substantial increase in the requirements for infertility solutions. In recent decades, steady
progress has been made in the treatment of infertility and the number of centers offering infertility treatment has burgeoned
throughout the world.
It was in this context that we felt the need to bring out a book on Algorithms in Infertility and Reproductive Medicine.
Understanding gyne-endocrinology and reproductive medicine can be difficult and therefore to make it more readerfriendly, we conceptualized the idea of adding maximum algorithms to the diagnostic work-up and management plan of the
problems which clinicians come across in their day-to-day practice. The simple format makes this book an excellent choice
and a ready-reckoner for practicing fertility specialists of all spectrums. The book is aimed at practicing clinicians as well as
at students of Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine.
The readers of this text will encounter a comprehensive and perspicacious view of the discipline of reproductive
medicine as revealed by practicing fertility specialists of the day. The book has been designed to keep a balance of text
and algorithms/flowcharts/diagrams, so as to provide comprehensive information in a concise and easy-to-understand
format. Also, the memory for such diagrammatic presentation is long-lasting and it acts as a ready-reckoner for clinicians in
practice and students for their examinations. The contents are mainly practical problems faced by clinicians in day-to-day
practice and the chapters have been contributed by experienced doctors working in the field of infertility and reproductive
medicine incorporating their vast practical experience. The information provided in the textbook is based on evidencebased guidelines and clinical experience.
We are extremely thankful to all the authors for contributing their chapters as well as for their constant support during
the execution of this project. Our huge thanks to M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd and their team for their
dedicated efforts. We hope that this book will provide a concise guide to fertility practice for trainees as well as for specialists.
Hope readers will enjoy reading this book and gain maximum from the experienced authors who have contributed to this
book
