How to Survive - and Thrive - During the Menopause
The menopause can be one of the hardest changes that a woman has to adapt to in her life, but it can also signal a new and positive beginning. It is often made more difficult to cope with by the confusing number of different treatments and array of conflicting advice.
This book looks at all the potential problems associated with both the menopause and the perimenopause, and shows you how to choose the best treatment for your individual needs. Always practical and sympathetic, Hilary Jones looks at:
- how physical symptoms such as hot flushes can be alleviated
- why preventing long-term problems such as osteoporosis and heart disease is important
- the psychological effects and need for a positive outlook
- the effects of the menopause on a woman's sexuality and libido
- simple self-help measures, natural alternatives and nutritional advice
- the pros and cons of HRT, with simple pointers to help you decide if it will work for you.
Full of essential advice and free of medical jargon, this will give you all the information you need to move with ease into the next stage of your life.
