Physiological actions of Progesterone -- Pharmacology of different progestogens and side effects -- Progestogens in infertility practice -- Progestogens and threatened miscarriage -- Progestogens and recurrent miscarriage -- Progestogens in pre-term labour -- Progestogens in Abnormal uterine bleeding -- Progestogens in contraceptives -- Progestogens and Endometriosis -- Progestogens and Breast Cancer -- Progestogens in Endometrial Cancer -- Progestogens in the post menopause -- Progestogens and Autoimmunity -- Progestogens in non gynecological indications.
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.
