The Menopause Manifesto
Although menopause affects all women, many lack adequate information about its symptoms, physical changes, health issues, and treatment options. Consequently, health problems related to menopause are dismissed as imaginary, unimportant, or something to simply endure because "that's just how women are."
The time for change has come!
Menopause is a normal life phase and an evolutionary advantage, yet it is challenging due to its unpredictability! The hormonal chaos that gradually increases after a woman turns forty may or may not manifest in various ways and may or may not lead to serious health complications. What applies to you? What should you expect once menstruation stops, and when? Is it time to panic?
Gynaecologist Jen Gunter, with expertise and humour, reassures you that menopause is not a disease but a planned change that you don't have to silently endure due to prejudice, shame, and misogynistic societal attitudes. A much better strategy is to equip yourself with information: when you understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do about it, you will rid yourself of fears and doubts and instead gain confidence in making decisions about your health. Besides clear explanations, the book also offers practical tips on how the author herself deals with menopause and postmenopause.
Don't panic, even if you're troubled by:
Perimenopause ~ Hot flashes ~ Cardiovascular health ~ Sleep disorders ~ Sex and libido ~ Depression and mood changes ~ Hormonal therapy ~ Skin and hair issues ~ Breast health ~ Weight and muscle mass loss ~ Osteoporosis
And much more – there is a solution for everything.
In the book, you will also learn:
- What the stages of menopause are and its sometimes subtle manifestations, such as heavy menstrual bleeding in premenopause.
- Why you should pay attention to blood lipid levels, building muscle mass, and preventing osteoporosis.
- When and why to use contraception and at what age to stop.
- How to deal with hot flashes, sleep disorders, mood changes, and depression through various forms of hormonal and non-hormonal treatments.
- That menopause is not the cause of cognitive decline: the female brain can adapt.
- Practical tips on how to cope with the menopausal transition.
