This practice-oriented description of hormonal treatment is a must for every gynecologist dealing with endocrine dysfunctions. Beginning with basic principles of endocrinology the book treats such topical issues as hormone treatment for gynecological diseases, sterility and disorders related to menopause. New active agents and up-dated dosage schemes have been incorporated in this thoroughly revised edition. Chapters on gender differentiation and dysfunctions in puberty make the book further a useful resource for pediatricians and general practitioners.
