Ovulation induction uses hormone therapy to stimulate the production and release of eggs from the ovaries in women with irregular or no ovulation. This book is a practical guide to the process of ovulation induction. Beginning with an introduction to the physiology of ovulation induction and assessment of ovarian reserve, the next chapters discuss the different pharmaceutical options. The following chapters cover ovulation induction for different disorders associated with infertility, including polycystic ovarian syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, thyroid disorders, and luteal phase defect. A separate chapter is dedicated to ultrasound monitoring of the ART (assisted reproductive technology) cycle. The second edition of this manual has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians with the latest advances in technology, research and knowledge in the field. Photographs, illustrations and extensive references further enhance the comprehensive text. Previous edition (9789352708611) published in 2019.

Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies in a row. This book is a concise guide to the investigation and management of recurrent pregnancy loss. Divided into 12 sections, the text begins with an introduction and discussion on anatomical causes of recurrent pregnancy loss. The following sections examine different causes of pregnancy loss including thrombophilia, genetic causes, endocrine causes, infections, endometriosis, and more. The final sections cover male factors, and environmental and psychological factors that may contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss, concluding with a selection of management pearls. The book is further enhanced by clinical ultrasound images and figures.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is a type of fertility treatment in which the better quality sperm are selected and then injected directly into the womb during ovulation. It is more natural and cost-effective than In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), but it is also less successful in achieving a pregnancy. Authored by renowned experts in the field, this book is a step-by-step guide to the complete process of IUI for practising and trainee gynaecologists. Beginning with discussion on counselling and diagnostic work-up before IUI, the next chapters cover indications and ultrasound. The following sections examine ovulation, timing of IUI, techniques, luteal phase support, complications, and factors affecting success. The final chapter discusses sperm preparation. The text is further enhanced by clinical images and figures. The previous edition (9789390595167) published in 2021.

3D ultrasound shows a still image of a foetus, far more detailed than the 2D flat grey scale imaging. 4D ultrasound is more advanced, showing a moving image, allowing obstetricians to evaluate foetal well-being. It is also used by gynaecologists to examine uterine anomalies. This book is a practical guide to the use of 3D and 4D ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecology. Divided into three sections, the text begins with an introduction to ultrasound, its working and application, its function, software, and volume calculation tools. Section Two covers clinical applications of volume ultrasound in obstetrics, explaining its use during the first trimester, for foetal abnormalities, for functional assessment of foetal brain development, and in labour. The final section discusses the application of ultrasound in gynaecology, covering uterine abnormalities, adnexal lesions, and in infertility. The book concludes with an appendix detailing different terms used by different brands. Key points Practical guide to use of 3D and 4D ultrasound in obstetrics and gynaecologyProvides detailed explanation of ultrasound working, function and softwareCovers different uses of ultrasound for foetal monitoring, gynaecological disorders, and infertilityHighly illustrated with detailed ultrasound images

This handbook is a guide to infertility and ultrasound for gynaecologists and infertility specialists. The second edition has been fully revised and includes many new topics, providing the latest information in the field. Divided into two sections, the first half of the book covers infertility. Beginning with discussion on assessment of an infertile couple, the following chapters examine different hormone treatments, sperm preparation, and ovulation induction, including in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The remaining chapters cover male infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and practical tips for infertility management. The second part of the book covers ultrasound. Beginning with discussion on transvaginal sonography and ultrasound in different uterine diseases, the following chapters cover ultrasound in infertility treatment, as well as in the different trimesters of pregnancy. Screening for foetal abnormalities is also discussed in depth. The comprehensive text is highly illustrated with more than 700 ultrasound images, diagrams and photographs.

This is a practical guide and quick reference for obstetricians and gynecologists using Doppler technology for better diagnosis with ultrasound. It indicates the use of Doppler for the differential diagnosis of different endometrial and myometrial lesions, as well as ovarian and tubal lesions. It also gives an idea about Doppler findings that differentiate between malignant and benign lesions. The important role of Doppler in deciding stimulation protocols for patients on assisted reproductive technology treatment, for assessment of functional maturity of the follicle and endometrium, and the correlation of these Doppler changes with hormonal level fluctuations is incuded. It also discusses the role of Doppler in fetal growth restriction and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) cases.
