Recognizing Reproduction Problems
Collaborative Learning #3
In your learning group, identify the history and clinical examination findings that would be indicative of a reproduction problem. Discuss the rationale from a physiologic perspective.
Clinical Findings
Common Diagnostic Tests
Maternal assay
Imaging
