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!

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.
