The Menopause and Hrt

by Kathy Abernathy

The Menopause and Hrt Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This practical guide covers the full spectrum of issues relating to menopause, including short and intermediate term symptoms, long term consequences such as osteoporosis, and premature ovarian failure. It also offers complete coverage of both hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal management approaches. In its new 2nd edition, THE MENOPAUSE AND HRT features updated discussions of this highly topical subject, with new drug additions and an expanded focus on non-hormonal therapies.

Book News Annotation:

Taking into account research on menopause since the 1997 edition, Abernethy, a menopause specialty nurse with a UK hospital, overviews this life stage, women's perspectives, hormone replacement therapy, non-hormonal approaches (in a new contributed chapter), and patient support issues. Resources are UK-oriented, as are the surprisingly low recommended calcium intake values.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

An overview of all aspects of the menopause and its effect on women, with coverage of HRT. Particular reference is made for the practice nurse.
