Description

More and more women are facing the dilemma of how to protect themselves from the problems of oestrogen deficiency, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and, possibly, Alzheimer's disease. This handbook presents a clear and comprehensive review of the role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in this patient population, assessing the risks and benefits in an impartial manner, and thus enabling clinicians to help women to make an informed decision regarding treatment and prevention. HRT and the Menopause examines topics such as the psychological aspects of menopause, hormone therapy and Alzheimer's Disease, and HRT and the breast.
