Menopause Guidebook Available from NAMS

The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) is the leading nonprofit scientific organization dedicated to promoting the understanding of menopause. NAMS has published a comprehensive, consumer-oriented guidebook to help women learn more about the physical and emotional changes that accompany menopause, as well as the later-life health issues that may be related to menopause.  "NAMS recognizes that menopause is a complex event in a woman's life, one not easily explained solely by the effects of changing hormone levels," said NAMS Executive Director Wulf H. Utian, MD, PhD. "There is much more to be learned in this area, and new information appears daily. We hope this guidebook will assist women at midlife and beyond to make informed decisions about their health."

This 60 page guidebook reviews a broad range of topics related to menopause including perimenopausal changes, hot flashes, birth control, premature menopause, and treatment options.  It also examines such postmenopausal health concerns as heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer.  To order, click here.
