Foreword by:E Diczfalusy
The most up-to-date and comprehensive international work on menopause and post-menopause, this text has been assembled by recognized opinion leaders throughout Europe.
Current Management of the Menopause not only explores the physiology involved (what menopause exactly is, and how it affects different systems in the body), but also discusses the non-medical aspects of the condition, such as women's reactions to making a transition into a new phase of life. The experts fully explain the medical issues, addressing head-on the recent controversies, such as the place of HRT in treatment of menopausal patients.
Bringing together contemporary knowledge on the management of the menopause, key features of this important text include:
* a guide for counseling patients in the use of HRT
* contributions from experts in the field
* patient information sheets.
Sifting through what is sometimes an overwhelming amount of information, and helping clinicians apply this to their practice, Current Management of the Menopause is ideal for gynecologists, general practitioners and students in those fields.
