Management of the infertile couple and gynaecology relevant to andrology are discussed. The book also covers: modern techniques of assisted fertilization, including IVF and ICSI; psychological factors on infertility; endocrinology and the reproductive functions of aging men; male contraception such as vasectomy and advances in hormonal male contraception; and the legal and ethical aspects of andrology.
