To understand endocrinology is to understand the key processes that affect normal reproductive function. Knowledge of normal endocrinology and the pathophysiology of endocrine disorders are important when dealing with disorders of reproduction. Reproductive Endocrinology for the MRCOG and Beyond aims to provide a comprehensive background for all gynaecologists.

This book is an invaluable aid, not only for candidates preparing to sit the MRCOG examination but also for those in clinical practice, midwives and, indeed, any health professional who comes into contact with women.
