⚙ AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-11 · read from full text ⓘ

This book chapter-style review addresses contemporary management of infertility using an aetiology-based approach, covering ovulatory dysfunction, male infertility, endometriosis, tubal and uterine factors, and unexplained infertility, with additional detail on assisted reproduction treatment and relevant clinical and laboratory techniques. It is written for clinicians preparing for the MRCOG Part 2 exam and aims to help readers stay current on the evidence underpinning infertility care. The key caveat is that it is a narrative evidence review and educational aide rather than a single original study with new results or a clearly stated empirical limitation. Relevance to endometriosis: endometriosis is one of the conditions for which the evidence underpinning infertility management is explicitly critically reviewed, though the paper/book focus is on a broad MRCOG-oriented framework for infertility management.

Abstract

Demands on the gynaecologist from patients seeking help with suboptimal fertility continue to grow, and fertility-related issues are often in the gaze of the media. Obstetricians and gynaecologists need to ensure that they are up to date, informed and knowledgeable to successfully engage with their patients. Written by nationally recognised leaders in the field, this volume concisely reviews contemporary clinical practice. Using an aetiology-based approach, the evidence underpinning the management of ovulatory dysfunction, male infertility, endometriosis, tubal, uterine factor, and unexplained infertility is critically reviewed. The role of assisted reproduction treatment is elaborated and a new chapter describes the clinical and laboratory techniques involved. The book provides a comprehensive summary for candidates preparing for the Part 2 MRCOG examination, covering the RCOG curriculum for infertility management. It will be enormously helpful to health professionals working in fertility clinics and an essential aide-memoire to those undertaking special interest training in infertility.
