Coping Successfully with Period Problems
by Mary-Claire Mason
'This well written and authoritative book, written in easy to understand language, will be of interest to all women who have problems associated with their periods' Dr Peter Bowen-Simpkins, spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
No longer do women have to put up with period problems. With today’s unprecedented range of medical, surgical and lifestyle options, better quality of life is a real possibility for the 15 million or so women in the UK of childbearing years.
This book is a comprehensive look at period patterns and medical help for the main problems that can occur - painful periods; irregular/missed periods; and heavy periods. Mary-Claire Mason explains how the pattern of menstruation may change at certain times, for instance after childbirth or prior to the menopause. She also examines how psychological factors may be implicated and why stress control is so important in making life with periods more comfortable. There are also suggestions for optimum diet and the best exercise, as well as advice on tackling PMS.
Mary-Claire Mason is a freelance journalist with a special interest in health who has written widely for national newspapers and magazines. She is the author of Coping with Fibroids, Sexually Transmitted Infections, and co-author of Rheumatoid Arthritis Your Medication Explained, all for Sheldon Press.
