Publisher's Synopsis
An invaluable guide for every woman seeking to take charge of her own body at a time of critical change. Many women approaching the ‘change of life' fear the upsets and disturbances. Others look forward to new-found freedoms. Most women adjust to the menopause easily, but still need to know what is happening and how to cope. For many women hormone replacement therapy is the answer; for others it is not. Dr Anne MacGregor explains the hormonal changes which cause the menopause and clearly sets out the pros and cons of HRT.
