Features: Infertility is not an independent disease but a common symptom shared by many conditions. According to statistics from countries like Europe, America, and Japan, its incidence rate accounts for approximately 15% of married couples of childbearing age, with 50% to 60% attributed to female factors, 20% to 25% to male factors, and 20% to 25% to both partners. This book is divided into three parts: the first part is a general introduction, systematically discussing male and female reproductive systems from both Western and Chinese medical perspectives, including anatomy, physiology, reproductive physiology, fertilization physiology, definitions and classifications of infertility, an overview of etiology and pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis and treatment, as well as epidemiological surveys, treatment prognosis, prevention, and eugenics. The second and third parts introduce more than 100 diseases causing female and male infertility, respectively, from both Western and Chinese medical perspectives, covering etiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, key clinical experience, and prevention and care.
