Designed to address the many aspects of women"s health over a lifetime, this series of books by Dr. Miriam Stoppard is uniquely accessible and affordable. Small, fully illustrated guides meet women"s individual needs at every lifestage--from teenagers curious about their changing bodies to new mothers looking for advice and reassurance to women of all ages experiencing menopause. Fully illustrated, straight-forward, and practical, these are the ideal healthcare guides for every woman. Hormone replacement therapy can alleviate menopausal symptoms, and many different types of HRT are available, including pills, skin patches, creams, pessaries, and implants. Hormone replacement therapy is still a controversial issue and Dr. Stoppard presents a thorough discussion of the issue: she explains menopause; outlines strategies for managing menopause; offers suggestions on how to stay healthy during menopause, with or without HRT; explains in detail the benefits and side effects of HRT; lists your required health checks; and discusses the long-term positive effects of HRT.
