Healthy
Transitions:
A Woman’s Guide to Perimenopause, Menopause & Beyond
Neil Shulman, M.D., and
Edmund S. Kim, M.D.
This authoritative and user-friendly information
source is designed to guide women through the experience of
perimenopause (the time leading up to menopause) and menopause.
Written by well-known medical educator Dr. Neil Shulman and
a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Edmund S. Kim,
this accessible and highly informative handbook will answer
the many questions a woman may have about the transition through
menopause. Among the topics explored are: hot flashes, night
sweats, changes in menstrual cycle, mood swings, weight gain,
changes in sex drive, and other typical symptoms of this transitional
time of life.
In view of the confusion surrounding hormone
replacement therapy, the authors have taken a survey among
healthcare providers and will publish the results of what
options are being recommended for perimenopausal and menopausal
women for the first time in this book. They will explore the
benefits and risks of hormone treatment, reviewing the various
methods of administering hormones and stressing that no one
treatment is right for every woman.
The authors will also discuss screening tests
that may be crucial for a woman’s health at this stage
of life, recommend certain healthy lifestyle changes, and
consider a host of other relevant issues.
Complete with a glossary and recommendations
for finding useful information on the Internet, Healthy Transitions
equips women with the necessary knowledge to confidently navigate
through an often stressful and confusing time of life.
