A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Uncertainty and negative expectations are common responses to themenopause. When it happens too early (sometimes as young as 16) itcan be particularly distressing with concerns about physicalhealth, as well as possible social and emotional consequences.Young women are faced with a condition, the causes of which are notwell understood, and about which very little is written in medicalor lay literature.

In medical texts premature menopause is typically mentioned onlyin passing, and from the woman′s perspective it remains a hiddensecret. This can only compound the difficulty for women for whomthe life process has suddenly swept into fast forward. Prematuremenopause can have profound implications both for the woman herselfand her partner and family. She is faced with physical andemotional concerns that are usually not considered until much laterin life, such as: will she age prematurely? will she need to takelong–term medication? will she come to terms with loss offertility? are there alternative treatments? are there consequencesfor her future health?
