Coping with Perimenopause
by Janet Wright
Because of the demands on today’s women, perimenopause is likely to have more impact than ever before. This is particularly true of the rapidly-increasing number of women starting a family in their 30s who struggle through baby shock as they deal with two major life changes at the same time - new motherhood and perimenopause.
Emotional upheaval, forgetfulness, tiredness, weight gain, headaches, bloating, missed periods, insomnia, and decreased sex drive – these are also all too common results of the hormonal, physiological, and psychological changes that lead up to menopause. Many women soldier on, not realising that help is at hand – but there is plenty that can be done.
This book, which carefully differentiates perimenopause from menopause, offers a full range of suggestions for coping with such problems, including medical treatments, complementary and alternative therapies, diet, exercise, and self-help techniques, backed by up-to-date research and case histories.
Janet Wright is a freelance journalist and the author of several books on fitness, health, well-being and nutrition. A former health editor of Health and Fitness magazine, she has written widely for the consumer press including The Guardian, the Daily Mirror and the science journal Nature.
