Fertile Vs. Infertile: How Infections Affect Your Fertility And Your Baby's Health

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Great Book
Review: I have never met Dr. Toth in person, but I have heard about him off and on for years at various scientific meetings. I bought his book and sat down and read all of it in two days and it was fascinating. Clearly, Dr. Toth as both a pathologist and obstetrician-gynecologist has done seminal work in infertility. The book reads fast and reads well, and appears to be aimed at the average lay reader. There are logical and brilliant ideas in this book that I have never seen anywhere else. A great book!

Summary: Outstanding! Of critical importance!
Review: I have the utmost respect for Dr. Toth's crucial work which is clearly described in this book. I was referred to Dr. Toth by several women who regained health and achieved successful pregnancies after Dr. Toth treated them for chronic infections not addressed by other physicians. Although I consulted many well-respected NYC specialists for pelvic pain and malaise, only Dr. Toth diagnosed and treated my condition correctly. Despite normal laboratory findings and a history of very few sexual partners, a laparoscopy revealed an active pelvic infection. I referred a friend to Dr. Toth and she delivered a healthy baby after Dr. Toth treated her and her husband for infection. A physician they had consulted previously, had diagnosed genital infection as a probable cause of their inferitlity, yet inadequately treated their condition. Recent research correlates medical deseases such as heart disease with chronic infections. Dr. Toth outlines the connection between medical problems, low-grade infections and reproductive difficulties. Dr. Toth therefore emphasizes the importance of adquately treating genital track infections prior to planning for childbearing. I am using a pen name because of the sensitive nature of this topic. I feel so grateful that I learned of Dr. Toth and and benefited from his work. I was so pleased to see this book as it will likely help a larger number of women and couples be exposed to Dr. Toth's critical findings.

Summary: Fertility versus Infertility
Review: This is an important book not only for pre-sexually active teens, but also their parents and/or those to provide them with advice. It is well written, and provides enough clear technical detail to keep the average reader interested even though the topics could be boaring in another context. For those who are sexually active and/or contemplating starting a family the self-assessment chapter combined with the chapter on signs and symtoms are extremely helpful. This is book that clearly provides insight in to the problem of infertility for both the medical professional and the public at large.
