Sue FurmanNew York, New York ;Oxford, [England] :Oxford University Press,1995.19951 online resource (224p.) Originally published: 1995.0-19-511384-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.The menopause has become a major health issue and women are demanding more information. This book explains the biology of the menopause in straightforward everyday terms and offers women a clear picture of the process, symptoms and treatments.The thirteen million women now between the ages of forty-five and fifty-four have focused attention on menopause as a major health issue and greatly increased the demand for information on this once taboo topic. In Turning Point, biologist and author Sue Furman puts menopause into perspective as one of many hormone-driven events in the continuum of a women's physical and emotional growth. Furman takes a close look at the powerful influence hormones have on a woman's life, from bone growth and memory functions, to sometimes even swaying a woman's choice of Mr. Right. She then looks at the myriad symptoms that may arise around the time of menopause, including hot flashes, mood swings, migraine headaches, and palpitations, and explains exactly what is happening when these symptoms occur and how to alleviate or cope with them. Finally, Furman discusses the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and how simple life-style choices like good-nutrition and moderate exercise can have a significant impact on the menopause transition.MenopausePopular worksMiddle-aged womenHealth and hygieneMenopauseMiddle-aged womenHealth and hygiene.618.1/75Furman C.
