| Annotation | This book - written from a US, woman-centred, feminist perspective - presents information on the changes women can expect to experience as they make the transition to and beyond the menopause. The menstrual cycle and menstruation is explained, as this provides knowledge to help in our understanding of menopause. Common menopausal changes, the diseases attributed to being oestrogen-deficient, the pros and cons of hormone treatment, and osteoporosis are discussed. The final section provides methods for monitoring menopausal activity. Data collected can then be assessed and used, if necessary, in the event of physical or psychological treatment. The use of American-English terminology should be noted. (RH). |
