Subfertility and reproductive medicine

Abstract This chapter starts with an overview and management strategies for polycystic ovarian syndrome, hirsutism and virilization, and the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. It goes on to gonadotropin-releasing hormone in health and disease, and its agonists and antagonists. Female subfertility is then outlined, alongside diagnosis and management. Male subfertility is considered. Assisted reproduction is explained, including in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and other techniques including surrogacy. Sexual dysfunction is covered, including a classification of disorders and treatments available.
