Description
Increased media coverage surrounding menopause and perimenopause has brought more women to primary care asking about HRT. Women present years earlier or later than the average age, and symptoms can vary significantly.
Menopause Made Easy provides a concise practical guide for clinicians who are helping their patients manage menopause. The book:
• gives an overview of menopause and its symptoms
• describes exactly what needs to be asked in a consultation
• includes a dedicated chapter on HRT which emphasises practical prescribing and what patients need to know
• addresses the common concerns about unscheduled bleeding on HRT
• covers all the basics of menopause management so that any clinician in primary care will be able to provide comprehensive care
• pulls together the latest guidance from NICE, the BMS and the CoSRH.
Good menopause management should be available to all patients and not just those with access to private clinics – this book, written by three GPs, offers all primary care clinicians the tools to support those patients who present at their surgeries on a day-to-day basis.
