Product Description

Product Description
Written by best-selling women's health expert Dr. Miriam Stoppard, this fully updated guide to the menopause should help every woman to be at her best throughout this crucial time and in the years beyond. "Why do I feel so anxious?", "Should I have trouble remembering things?" "Is it normal to wake up drenched in sweat?" Each woman's experience of the menopause is different, so "Menopause" looks at all the common symptoms - from tiredness to tearfulness, hot flushes to loss of libido - and the ways to alleviate them. Dr. Stoppard details the advantages and disadvantages of the full range of hormone replacement therapies (HRT) as well as beneficial complementary treatments. With her unique blend of empathy and candour, Dr. Stoppard gives essential advice on nutrition, exercise, maintaining an active sex life, controlling emotions and many more day-to-day concerns. Containing expert guidance, up-to-date medical information and self-help tips, "Menopause" should help every woman to manager her menopause in the best possible way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for all women with questions about menopause, 29 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Menopause (Hardcover)

Dr Miriam Stoppard is a leading expert on women's health, and the author of several outstanding books; 'Menopause' is no exception. This is a very well thought out, clear and informative book: in my opinion, a must for menopausal, and post-menopausal women alike; younger women would also do well to read Dr Stoppard's advice.

The book provides a comprehensive, illustrated guide to all aspects of menopause: from planning for it; how the female body changes; all possible symptoms of menopause; common medical complaints, and the treatment of them; hormone replacement therapy (HRT); health monitoring and self-examination, and even sound advice on sexuality and relationships: an important aspect that cannot be ignored!

As a fitness professional, my main areas of interest are fitness and nutrition; Dr Stoppard covers both of these very well with practical advice on how to improve and maintain fitness, flexibility and posture, and good information on nutrition, healthy cooking and weight management.

I would thoroughly recommend this book for any woman (or her partner!) who has any question about the menopause.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book if you having a normal menopause, 14 May 2003
By A Customer
If you are having your menopause within the average age range and do not have any other major medical problems, then this book is probably a good buy. However it failed to talk in any detail about premature menopause. When it did do so it omitted to mention chemotherapy as one cause for premature menopause. As these are key issues for myself I was left feeling dissatisfied.

I also required information on bisphosphonates, a non hormonal treatment for strengthening bone during menopause. There is no mention of these in this book.

The book is filled with many pictures, including how osteoporosis affects the bones, how to carry out breast examination and useful exercises. These were very clear and helpful.

I liked the balance between the promotion of non-medical management of menopause symptoms as well as use of HRT. However there is no mention of individual drugs by name so if you want to find more about your specific medication this book will not necessarily give you answers.

When I first read this book I kept thinking something was missing so kept flicking though searching for something. I have come to the conclusion that it does not adequately cover the emotional aspects of menopause especially for women for whom menopause has come unexpectedly early. As far as I am concerned this is not the "complete guide" it says it is.

Since buying this book I discovered The Premature Menopause book by Kathyrn Petras and also available on Amazon - this was a much better buy for others in a similar situation as myself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Health warning!, 29 Mar 2009
By M. Ruegger - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the most depressing book I have read on the subject. It more or less spells gloom and despair about the awful things that are going to happen to you post 48, (I am already past that and thankfully have not noticed any of these handicaps that are presented as inevitable), whilst at the same time telling you to be positive and count your blessings. I have to say it made me wonder what century the author belongs to. Has she not come accross such icons as Jerry Hall, Sharon Stone, Madonna and the like, or know ordinary successfull women who still look great and dress well. I took particular exception to the part that advises readers to get fatter and buy more comfortable clothing. Aslo, it is not particulary well balanced in that there is no more than a sentance on the benefits of natural progesteron despite an acknowledgedment throughout the text that the side effects of HRT are mostly the result of synthetic prostogens. The book is now in the bin.
