Women's health is increasingly recognized as a global health priority. With the expanding elderly female population, the long-term complications of ageing and oestrogen deficiency present an enormous problem in terms of morbidity, mortality and economic burden. Thus, managing postreproductive health is becoming a key issue for all health professionals, not just gynaecologists.
This is the 5th edition of this successful Handbook, published on behalf of the British Menopause Society, and it is now considered to be the international template for menopause management, and will be a useful resource for gynaecologists, GPs, physicians, nurses and allied health professionals.
The book provides a practical, unbiased and non-promotional international guide on menopausal and postmenopausal health. It is essential reading for all health professionals dealing with women’s health around the world and is a vital resource for consultations.
