Abstract

Working with Infertility and Grief: A Practical Guide for Helping Professionals explores issues of grief, including disenfranchised grief and chronic sorrow, related to infertility and reproductive loss. Out of the small handful of books related to this topic, this is the first of its kind geared toward equipping helping professionals who assist those grieving unrecognized losses. Written through the lens of the literary framework of The Hero’s Journey, this comprehensive practitioner guide directly targets mental health professionals working with clients, supervisees, or students who have experienced infertility, miscarriage, or death of an infant. This book is also for those who experienced it themselves. Readers will learn more about the crisis of infertility and reproductive loss, gain insight into the experience of those suffering, and acquire practical tools and strategies for helping and healing. This text is broad enough to be integrated into a course for a graduate program and specific enough to serve as a shelf reference for those in practice.

Abstract

Infertility is an important health problem affecting around 15% of couples worldwide, with profound psycho-social consequences and impairment of patients’ quality of life. It has been shown that the male factor is solely and partially implicated in 20-50% of the cases of infertility. Male infertility is a complex issue that can be related to a variety of congenital or acquired factors that lead to a decline in the quantity and/or the quality of semen. Over the recent years, there have been major advances in basic understanding of the factors that regulate male fertility, the diagnostic tests for assessment of male fertility potential, and the therapeutic options for the management of male subfertility/infertility. However, despite advances in technologies and diagnostic methods in the field of andrology, there remains a significant subset of these subfertile men who are classified as having unexplained or idiopathic male infertility. In addition, there are ongoing debates and controversies on the clinical management of infertile men under certain conditions like varicocele, genital tract inflammation/infection or non-obstructive azoospermia. This book discusses advances in cellular, molecular, and genetic aspects of spermatogenesis and sperm evaluation in the context of clinical scenarios. It also addresses clinical dilemmas and controversies through a discussion of the basic science underlying these conditions. The authors form an impressive international collaboration to provide a unique perspective that specializes in all key areas of andrology. Current and Future Advances in Male Infertility provides insights into strategies to reduce the burden of male gonadotoxins, to enhance men’s fecundity and to help optimize the care of infertile men. It aims to bridge the gap between researchers and clinicians by integrating basic science and clinical application.

Abstract

Despite the fact that about half of infertility problems stem from male factors, gynecologists are often the first health care providers to perform the initial assessment of the infertile couple. For this reason, it is critical that gynecologists and reproductive medicine specialists remain up to date on the primary conditions that cause male infertility, as well as current diagnostic tools and treatment options of both natural and assisted conception. From diagnosis through treatment, Male Infertility: Management of Infertile Men in Reproductive Medicine offers expert, straightforward guidance on the pathophysiology and management of male infertility for clinicians who assist couples early in the process of trying to conceive.

Abstract

The purpose of sexual and reproductive healthcare should be the enhancement of personal relationships and a healthy sex life and not merely counselling and care related to procreation or sexually transmitted infections. Providing practical and evidence-based guidance, this textbook follows the curriculum of the joint EBCOG and ESCRH examination in Contraception and Sexual and Reproductive Health . Coverage is comprehensive, allowing readers to gain an in-depth understanding of each topic. Written by trusted experts in the field, topics covered include contraception, infertility and sexual dysfunction, sexual violence and STIs. The text provides advice and practical tips for how to practice patient-centred counselling and shared decision-making. Improving the relationship between the patient and healthcare-provider leads to increased trust, adherence of advice and more satisfactory treatment for the patient.
