Surgical Menopause after HysterectomyReviewed by Diana de Avila, 2009-09-18
I am 44 years old and although I wish I was going through menopause
naturally, I am being pushed into surgical menopause via the
removal of my last remaining ovary due to endometriosis. It's been
a tough haul but something that I'm facing head on through
processes like reading this book.
I was attracted to the book initially because I have visited the
Cleveland Clinic online for various information. I was also drawn
by the publishing date. It appears to be the most current and
thorough book on the topic at the moment.
One of my biggest areas of concern as I approach my surgery is the
use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). There has been SO much
bled by the media over the past decade that it is difficult to make
heads or tails of the information. I was happy to see a large
section devoted to the debunking or rather the enlightening of the
results received in one of the largest studies funded by NIH called
the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). Dr. Thacker spends a good
amount of time explaining the results of this study and how
misinformed we have become as consumers and women by the media.
Getting a clearer understanding of the study, the results and the
population helped me understand that I do not need to fear HRT and
that it will actually be extremely helpful for me as I labor
through some of those tough menopausal symptoms to come.
The book addresses symptoms, healthy living, sexual health, sleep
issues and mood.
The book is thorough, engaging and a good read for all women (and
their spouses too) about that new life stage called menopause.
Whether you are a woman going through "the change" naturally over a
course of time or forced into it through surgery, this is a good
read with a lot of helpful information and advice.
5 stars. Thank you Dr. Thacker!
Every woman and man should read.Reviewed by Striving 4 Healthy, 2009-06-08
This is a book that every 25 year old and up woman and man should read. Explains, prepares, and prevents a lot of unnecessary health and relationship issues. Not only for menopause symptoms; also PMS, pregnancy, and most hormone/chemical related problems.
Demystify and Detoxify Menopausal ManagementReviewed by Delbert Booher, 2009-03-01
This book is written by one of the foremost menopausal experts in
the United States who is director of the Center for Specialized
Women's Health at the Cleveland Clinic. The book is current and
comprehensive with more than sufficient depth such that the
practicing physician will find answers to clinical questions but
yet understandable and straight forward enough that the average
patient can read and comprehend information presented. The
multitude of misunderstanding about menopause over the past 10
years is cleared and put into perspective with honest, straight
forward and understandable answers. Nothing is being pushed or sold
except good, honest information. This book is a wealth of
information for those needing help with menopause and related
conditions.
Men can benefit from reading this too!Reviewed by Robert K. Hales, 2009-02-22
This is a fantastic, informative and educational book that is up to date for current women's health. If you want to gain insight and a better understanding of your wife and the different hormonal changes she goes through, there is not a better book on the market. Yes, men can certainly benefit from reading this highly honored book also. Watch this author (Dr. Holly Thacker-Director of the Cleveland Clinic) as she continues to improve the Cleveland Clinic Women's Health Center and becomes one of the World Renown experts of Women's Health.
