What is Reproductive            Endocrinology_            

Reproductive Endocrinology is the highly specialized field that deals with infertility, female reproductive hormones, and female reproductive surgery.   Specialists in Reproductive Endocrinology are called Reproductive Endocrinologists.

Most Reproductive Endocrinologists limit their practice to infertility and its related procedures. However, since Reproductive Endocrinologists have such specialized training in endocrinology (hormones) and reproductive surgery, many accept patients with complex hormonal problems or those who need  advanced reproductive surgery, even though they may not have fertility problems.

The field of Reproductive Endocrinology is a "subspecialty" of obstetrics and gynecology.  Reproductive Endocrinologists must first complete their training as Obstetrician/ Gynecologists before they can be accepted to a "Fellowship" program in Reproductive Endocrinology.  The Reproductive Endocrinology Fellowship  involves an additional two years of study, research, and patient care.
