Infertility and Its Impact

Infertility can have devastating physical, emotional and financial effects on people affected. It is a common problem, but can be hard to talk about, and hard to understand.

About the Book

In this concise book, Dr Kovacs, a reproductive gynaecologist who has spent the past 40 years working with patients facing fertility problems, focuses on and unpicks key misconceptions.

In his clear explanations, he covers the basic physiology of conceiving, and describes the areas that have to be explored for those who have not yet been able to conceive.

Major Problem Areas

Specific chapters cover the three major problem areas: lack of releasing eggs, sperm problems, and abnormalities of the female passages.

Treatment options are discussed for each of these areas, including technical details and a brief readable overview of their history.

Parenting Options and Recommendations

The many ways of parenting which are now available are also detailed.

This is a recommended read for couples wanting to conceive, their friends and families, and anyone who wants to understand fertility.
