The complete guide to maintaining health and well-being and managing your life

Introduction

To enable women to be at their best through this crucial time and in the years beyond, Menopause considers the total person. Written by the bestselling author and popular medical authority Dr. Miriam Stoppard, it distinguishes fact from fiction and informs women about all the health-care choices available to them today.

"Why do I feel so anxious?" "Should I have trouble remembering things?" "Is it normal to wake up drenched in sweat?" Each woman's experience of the menopause is different, so Menopause looks at the full range of symptoms - from tiredness to tearfulness, hot flushes to loss of libido - and the ways to alleviate them. The long-term risks facing menopausal women and the tests and treatments necessary to monitor and maintain health are examined in detail. The full range of hormone replacement therapies is described and the advantages and disadvantages of each discussed.

With warmth and candour, Dr. Stoppard gives essential advice on nutrition and diet, exercise, maintaining an active sex life, controlling emotions, and many more day-to-day concerns. With its expert guidance, up-to-date medical information, and more than 200 illustrations, Menopause offers the knowledge and the know-how to let every woman manage her menopause in the best possible way.
