About the Book

Nine easily navigated sections cover definitions and concepts, sociological and cultural aspects, physiology, endocrinology, clinical aspects, correlated systemic modifications and diseases, prevention and treatment of menopause-related symptoms and diseases, hormone replacement therapy with detailed coverage of indications and contraindications and risk/benefit ratios, and lifestyle issues including diet, weight, physical activity, smoking and alcohol. Ideal for office use and for recommendation for patient purchase. System requirements: Microsoft™ Windows™ 95 or higher or Macintosh OS 7.5 or higher. No installation needed.
