Fully revised and updated bestseller.
Night sweats, hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia, exhaustion, itchy skin, low libido, painful sex ... Sound familiar? Ninety per cent of women experience these symptoms some time between the ages of 40 and 60. Menopause and perimenopause are among our last taboo subjects. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) - once widely prescribed as the magical secret of youth - has been shunned by women and their doctors for two decades. Now Dr Ginni Mansberg, one of Australia's most trusted health experts, is here to work through the latest evidence and bust the taboos out of the water. In this fully revised and updated edition of The M Word, all the options and advice available is laid out clearly. Are you being offered the best solutions for your menopause issues? Because there are great solutions to help you thrive in this new stage of life.- What happens to your body once key hormones begin to diminish?
- What are the pros and cons of HRT?
- Which home remedies are worth a shot, and which are snake oil?
- Plus, how can you shift that menopause weight gain, what's best for your changing skin, how can you exercise your brain, and why are you so bloody itchy all the time?
All of this and more is delivered with Dr Ginni's no-nonsense humor, and backed up with evidence-based facts and personal anecdotes to help women make informed choices.
