NEW YORK, NY, September 29, 2010 (Press-News.org) The web offers an abundance of information about infertility causes and treatments. However, while much of the information provided is well-intentioned, not all sources are accurate: some may be erroneous, misleading or not applicable to every situation. In order to help potential and current patients alike, Dr. Eric Flisser of Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA) of New York has created a blog to provide medically accurate and relevant information about the diagnosis of infertility, its causes and treatments.
Dr. Flisser's mission in launching the RMA of New York Infertility Blog is to educate patients, dispel myths and provide clear explanations about the causes of and treatments for infertility:
"The Internet provides a wealth of information to patients seeking answers to personal questions of all types, but does not provide a filter by which to evaluate the answers that are found. Our goal is to provide an accessible and reliable source for patients seeking more information about infertility."
Dr. Flisser will work with RMA of New York's team of clinicians to provide the most up-to-date information on female factor infertility, male factor infertility, emotional and nutritional considerations during infertility treatment, as well as many other topics of patient interest.
