Förlagets beskrivning
Few topics in women's medicine today are as fraught with confusion and
controversy as the question of appropriate treatment for menopausal symptoms
and the prevention of negative long term health outcomes common to
post-menopausal women. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), osteoporosis, and cancer -
the most common causes of death, disability and impaired quality of life for
women - can potentially be prevented or forestalled by dietary, behavioural and
drug interventions. A better understanding of the natural history of the menopause is critical
to providing better care. If women and their physicians have a better
understanding of predictors of risk, they could make more informed decisions
about interventions related to menopausal symptoms, CVD, osteoporosis and
gynaecologic and breast cancer. Few other recently introduced medical
interventions have as great a potential of affecting morbidity and mortality as
does hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT has produced effect on health risk:
some are reduced, some are raised, and some uncertain, and these data are
interpreted differently by various scientific, medical and consumer groups. This text focuses on the treatment for menopausal symptoms and the
prevention of negative long-term health outcomes common to post-menopausal
women. Cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and cancer can potentially be
prevented or forestalled by dietary, behavioural and drug interventions.
