Infertility Books

Great reference book for those trying to find out about impotence and its causes. Great explanation detail and good structure make this a winner, if your a man suffering and seek help in overcoming this problem, then buy this book and you won't be disappointed. [...].

I liked this book because it explains some things that i didn't know about impotence and its causes. Also you can find valuable information about avoiding this terrible condition. A much more in depth book about all of these is "Volume II - Natural Penis Enlargement: New methods of avoiding and curing impotence, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction safely and inexpensively. ... Book on CD-Rom for PC & Mac Computers" by "Platinum Millennium, the best book that i could find about impotence and other sexual disorders

The book was a gift to lady friend having difficulty accepting her boyfriends impotence. It was intended to educate her on the life changes experienced by older males. According to my friend it truly opened her eyes. the information contained in the book covers much more than impotence....infertility and so on. My friend would definitly recommend this as a reference for anyone in need to know more about age effects on male sexuality.

A medical book dealing with all the aspects of male impotence and other sexual disorders in both male and female. All of the sexual disorders are included here and discussed in an open manner by specialists looking to find solutions and ease the pain and suffering of those affected. A great book for a quick reference[...].

This is such a tragic, moving story - hearing the voices of men discussing the almost undiscussable. But for me the most amazing aspect is their ability to cope - their ability to 'go with the flow' and get on with things. Of course, this book is a very tiny sample (and even the author recognises that the sample is biassed - too many sterile rather than infertile respondents compared to population statistics - perhaps that tells us something about sterile men) and necessarily the author could not interview any man with fertility problems who had made the ultimate withdrawal from an unsatisfactory world.

I know a man who is sterile and I can see synergies between him and the responses reported here, even though his cicumstance is different from all of them. Unlike the respondents here he knew before he was in a relationship - so he did not have a partner to provide support - neither did he have a partner with whom he could bury his own responses by providing her support. It affected him in different ways, but then his life did change. But, for all of these afflicted men, the continual ache in the background does remain even when parenting softens the blow to a degree.

None of the men with infertility problems in this book makes the demand on their partner that they should just accept what fate has dealt them. These men - despite qualms and uncertainties - go along with their partners and fufill their own desires as much as is possible, by following the routes of adoption and assisted fertility processes such as donor insemination (DI).

Perhaps there is another book to be written - one with a broader perspective. How do men cope, for whatever reason, with a failure to become a parent? Is it important to them? Does it have an impact on their life's 'achievement' (think about Beethoven for example)? Are men different in this to women?

Be prepared to confront uncomfortable ideas when you read this book - other people's sadness. One of the men saw that he had an 'invisible disability'. For me this might have been the most telling comment of all - perhaps everyone has invisible disabilities of one sort or another and we should respond to people with understanding and acceptance of that.

But then there was the anguish too. As one of the men said - It's terrible to have a problem, and your wife is the one who gets all the treatment and suffering for it.

I want to thank the author for clearing up the differences of the many Ginsengs available! This book does contain a lot of information that is very helpful to people like us facing a fertility problem, but it is not easy reading. I encountered a lot of terms that I needed more information on - and got none!

The best of it's kind on the market

The book is pretty well written and it gives you enough information about miscarriages, however I prefer the way things are explained in the book Avoiding Miscarriage by Susan Rousselot.

THis is a guide for the suffering man that has just found out that his sexual life isn't going to go up by itself. Revealing and helpful this friendly book urges men to stand up and not be ashamed of thei problems and to treat them imediately. [...]

West's user-friendly, ten-easy-steps book is actually very meaty. It's not the size of a big city phone book, yet practically every reader will add to his or her knowledge about fertility. It's a new book as of March 2008 which I was happy to see because it's likely to be up-to-date on new findings in the field of baby-making. West includes practical medical information and a helpful emphasis on lifestyle and nutrition, topics I hadn't thought much about in relation to getting pregnant...and not just for women but also for men (my guy read it, too). West knowledgeably addresses both complementary therapies like acupuncture to support fertility as well as more invasive approaches such as in vitro fertilization. West is based in London and so you'll occasionally run across a word of Brit-speak, but this edition was edited for the US market so the web resources and vocabulary are generally American.
