More About This Title Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
English
Recurrent pregnancy loss is an emotional challenge for patients. This book offers a practical approach to office-based gynecologists and trainee gynecologists to learn how to identify the root causes and minimize the risks of further miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies. This book is part of the Gynecology in Practice Series, which aims to provide a clinical ‘in the office' or ‘at the bedside' guide to effective patient care for gynecologists.
