symptoms; sexuality during the menopausal years; and common gynaecological
problems that may occur during this period and the appropriate treatments for
these conditions. The book is written in a user-friendly, question-and-answer
format, incorporating helpful illustrations, a resources guide, and a glossary
of common terms. Among the topics discussed in this work on the menopause and the years
either side of it, are: physical and psychological changes in a menopausal
woman; the how and why of common menopausal symptoms; sexuality during the
