About this book

This book brings together the most up-to-date information about the physiology of progestogens. Addressing the bidirectional communication between hormones, fertility, tumors, and autoimmunity, it provides the basic science and clinical perspectives of progestogens which have not been previously available in one volume. In addition to estrogens, androgens, mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, progestogens are a major class of steroid hormone. While present in certain phases of estrous and menstrual cycles, progestogens are named for their function in maintaining pregnancy. This book is essentially practical in orientation, addressing the specific issues that confront the practitioner, and provides information to Obstetricians, Gynecologists, Reproductive endocrinologists, as well as Gynecological Oncologists and Rheumatologists. Contributions are from an international team of experts in the field, now completely updated in this new edition with new developments in primary dysmenorrhea and contraception. 

Reviews

“This book has the potential for a large audience including healthcare professionals caring for pregnant patients and/or patients with gynecologic concerns. In addition, reproductive endocrinologists, gynecological oncologists, endocrinologists, immunologists, and/or neurologists could benefit from information in this text. … This second edition of the book gives a comprehensive review of the most up-to-date actions of this class of medicines, potential clinical uses, and the complexity of interactions associated with their use in practice.” (Nirupama De Silva, Doody's Book Reviews, June 18, 2021)
