This book addresses questions asked by experienced family planning clinicians on topics where answers could not readily be found in standard texts.

This is an essential volume for all practitioners in the field, who can enquire within when faced with a dilemma in practice relating to a rare condition or a contentious issue, and find an authoritative answer.
