Andrology

This textbook covers the scientific basis of andrology - including molecular biology and molecular genetics - together with the clinical practice of andrology, by tackling the diagnosis and treatment of individual disorders classified according to the localisation of the cause. Management of the infertile couple and gynaecology relevant to andrology are described, as are modern techniques of assisted fertilisation, including IVF and ICSI. Professor Nieschlag is president of the European Academy of Andrology while Dr. Behre is a member of the corresponding WHO Task Force. They deal with male contraception as well as the psychological factors of infertility and round off the book with legal and ethical considerations. Indispensable for everyone having to make relevant diagnostic therapeutic decisions.
