The Menopause: What You Need To Know? A New Practical Guide For Women

July 3, 2006

The British Menopause Society and the Royal Society of Medicine Press

have today co-published a practical guide to help women manage

menopause.

The Menopause: What you need to know is written by leading experts

and brings together the latest medical evidence in an easy to read

format without the confusing medical jargon.

" The aim of this book is to provide practical, unbiased and non-

promotional information about treatment of menopause and its

management, " said Dr Margaret Rees, one of the book's editors.

" It's not quirky and nor does it make light of the issue. Rather, the

book deals with the most up-to-date facts on menopause and provides

information in a clear cut and easily accessible manner.

" The book also discusses treatment and lifestyle options clearly and

concisely and includes a discussion on oestrogen and non-oestrogen

based therapies, and the benefits and drawbacks of HRT.

" Importantly, the book contains answers to all those menopausal

questions that you may forget to ask your GP, " Dr Rees said.

The British Menopause Society is an independent scientific society of

health professionals. Its aims are to raise awareness about the

menopause and improve the treatment that menopausal women receive.

Founded in 1989, the BMS produces the Journal of the British

Menopause Society of which Dr Margaret Rees is editor.
