Menopause

This textbook, as in previous editions, describes the changes in a woman's lifeline from the menopause transitions through the late geripause. It serves as an accurate reference and a current resource; including material on the medical, physiologic, biochemical, pharmacologic, sexual, endocrine, and now, sensory aspects of aging and sex hormonal loss. Overall, the book defines aging and hormonal loss; gives clear, non-contentious, evidence-based guidelines on the management of menopausal symptoms and their associated risks; and introduces the care and values that will satisfy the expectations of the healthy, maturing women of today.
