In addition to isolation, infertility challenges women's sense of identity, expectations of their life trajectory and their perceived value in society. This book presents current research on the genetic factors, treatment risk and benefits, and social and psychological consequences of infertility. Topics include the traditional Chinese medicine approach to fertility management; adverse outcomes of assisted reproduction techniques; the impact of follicular fluid components and embryo-endometrial cross-talk on the oocyte quality or embryo viability; iatrogenic damage incurred during fertility treatment upon gamete competence and embryonic viability; genetic factors of male infertility; animal models for studying female infertility; and treatment of endometriosis associated with infertility. 410 0$aObstetrics and gynecology advances. 410 0$aHuman reproductive system--anatomy, roles, and disorders series. 606 $aInfertility 615 0$aInfertility. 676 $a616.6/92 701 $aNascimento$b Renato$01870327 701 $aVilas Boas$b Henrique$01870328 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969170603321 996 $aInfertility$94478737 997 $aUNINA
