The female reproductive system consists of the hypothalamic-pituitary unit, the ovaries, the reproductive tract, and the external genitalia. The functions of the female reproductive system are to produce and deliver oocytes, for sexual reproduction, and produce hormones that regulate reproductive function. Female factor infertility can be divided into several categories: ovarian, tubal and peritoneal, uterine, and other. A basic evaluation for female infertility includes an assessment for ovulation, tubal patency, and normality of the uterine cavity. Management of female factor infertility may include medical treatment, surgical intervention, or assisted reproductive techniques. This book provides a comprehensive review of female reproductive biology, emphasizing causes and management of female infertility. By developing a clear understanding of what is normal, you will better understand abnormalities affecting female fertility and the mechanisms behind treatment.
