Menopause for Dummies

I had a lot of questions about menopause and needed answers without all the medical lingo. This book gives you simple answers in English without the medical mumbo jumbo. It not only answered my questions but gave me some good questions I can ask my doctor. I recommend this book to all women going thru perimenopause and I also recommend it to all the men in her life. It will help them understand what their special person is going thru and what to expect.

if you are not familiar with this problem, it is a very good book to start with. Moreover, you learn a lot about other symptoms or possible illnesses linked with menopause. This is very clearly explained and I highly recommend it. françoise

I bought another book that gave a thorough explanation about menopause and it's symptoms, but this book did an excellent job of covering the many treatment options available. The alternative treatments were covered in this book better than any other information I have read. In spite of all the menopause treatment web sites, books, & articles I have been reading for 2 years, I was not aware of the effects phytoestrogens have on women who have not had a hysterectomy. This is something more women need to be aware of!

This book helped explain the mysteries of the process my mother is going through right now and what I will go through in the future. It was helpful knowing that there are alternatives to hormone therapy and also measures I can take to help prepare me for Menopause. The author did a great job of eplaining the important information in terms that I could understand and remember. I like that there was humor placed at important parts to help reiterate the fact that this process isn't the end of the world and won't have to be as bad as some people make it sound.

I've had them (symptoms) all.... Now I know why! Easy to find answers right away. Clearly discusses all the latest research about hormones. I think it's a great book if you're in your thirties forties or fifties.
