The end of menstruation and fertility is a natural
biological process, not a medical condition. Even so, the
physical and emotional symptoms of menopause can disrupt
a women's life and require treatment if severe. Often,
women arrive at their menopause years without knowing
anything what they might expect, or when or how the
process starts and how long it may last. With confusion
over the risks of estrogen therapy, the proliferation of
alternative therapies, concerns about osteoporosis and
heart disease, and questions about sexual health, the
need for clear useful information is endless. What Nurses
Know . . . Menopause sheds new light on this natural
biological process and its symptoms from a trusted
source: nurses. Simply organized and clearly written, it
provides individuals, their families, friends, and
healthcare practitioners the answers they need and want.
Special features include numerous sidebars and call out
boxes with "Nurse Notes," definitions of common terms,
lists of support groups, and online tools and specific
websites to help those living with MS.
