Sexual Health and the Menopause

Written by experts in the field, Sexual Health and the Menopause is a concise, readable, pocket-sized book full of up-to-date information on topics that are often hard for both practitioners and patients to discuss. Areas covered include taking a sexual history, hormone replacement therapy and pharmacotherapy, six therapy and sex aids, male problems that impinge on a women’s sex life, sexually transmitted diseases and many others.

Many older women have an increased sexual response owing to a reduced fear of pregnancy, the end of menstrual distress and no longer needing contraception; however, with increased age comes associated sexual problems for both men and women. Published on behalf of the British Menopause Society, this is a practical and sensitive collection of articles on common sexual health issues which concern menopausal women and their partners. Edited and written by leading specialists, each chapter is a minimum of 1500 words plus 10–15 up-to-date references for further reading.

This book is recommended for GPs, nurses, and all professionals working in family planning and genitourinary medicine.
