Description
This study provides details of a full range of biomedical concerns related to the menopausal process. In addition to evaluating changes in ovarian function, the compilation discusses the psychosocial aspects of menopause, as well as the many health problems related to female reproductive physiology. Leading investigators present their latest research findings on ovarian function and analyze various palliative therapies alleviating the symptons of menopause. Other important topics covered include the relationship between menopause and dermatological changes; screening techniques for breast cancer; the therapeutic importance of calcium, diet and exercise; the effects of androgens on physical and mental functions and fertility control during perimenopausal years.
