From the Introduction:
So you're thinking about having a baby. Congratulations! But maybe it's taking a little longer than you expected. Perhaps you're becoming a little bit concerned. A small voice in the back of your mind is starting to think about the possibility of infertility. How do you decide if it's time to seek medical help? If you are otherwise healthy and under the age of 35, you should seek professional help after 12 months of trying to conceive. If you are older or have any medical conditions, such as endometriosis, you should seek help sooner. With infertility, just as with any other medical condition, you need to be an educated consumer. You need to read books and articles to understand and keep up with the latest advances. Support groups, both in person and over the internet, are an invaluable source of current information, doctor referrals, and emotional support. A diagnosis of infertility can seem devastating at first. It can be overwhelming to try and understand it all. This book is a beginner's guide to help you to be prepared. It contains the basic facts that you need to make appropriate decisions on the road to having the child of your dreams. Of course, as with all matters concerning your health, this book should be used with the consent and supervision of a health care professional. Good luck!

Good,
This review is from: Infertility: The Tapestry Guide (Paperback)
This book is one of the titles designed to present advances in the field of research concerning male infertility. This book does just that , present diagnosis and treatment methods for impotence, but it fails to discuss any of the social and psychological problems of impotence, let alone talk about other methods. For a more complete study on sexual disorders maybe you should try" Natural Penis Enlargement: New Methods of Avoiding and Curing Impotence, Premature Ejaculation, and Erectile Dysfunction Safely and Inexpensively. New ... No Pumps, No Pills and No Gadgets! Vol. 2" by Platinum Millennium
