Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Women: A Clinical Appraisal
Author: J Picton Thomas
Increase in life expectancy and awareness of the benefits of hormone therapy have increased the demand for hormone replacement therapy, yet the number of women in the UK receiving treatment are low in comparison with those in the USA and other European countries. Many doctors may be reluctant to prescribe hormone therapy as they do not appreciate that the benefits of treatment outweigh the possible risks.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Women explores various aspects of hormone therapy. The relevant physiology is outlined and the major issues in HRT, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis, are also addressed. Easily readable and with a well-balanced view, this book will be helpful to junior doctors, general practitioners, and specialists alike.
