En la actualidad, la terapia de sustitución hormonal suscita un notable desconcierto y confusión en multitud de mujeres e incluso entre los médicos. Si se sigue correctamente, el tratamiento con estrógenos constituye uno de los medios más eficaces para afrontar los cambios físicos que sobrevienen en la mujer a lo largo de la menopausia, desde los sofocos y el insomnio hasta el entumecimiento de manos y pies. Esta guía, que incluye las investigaciones científicas más recientes, así como las terapias alternativas de que se dispone, ofrece información sobre la eficacia del tratamiento hormonal --junto con sus efectos secundarios y posibles problemas-- para aliviar los síntomas de la menopausia, prevenir la osteoporosis, mejorar la memoria, mantener una vida sexual activa y reducir la probabilidad de desarrollar la enfermedad de Alzheimer o un infarto de miocardio.
The Change
Germaine Greer
In this study of the real and fundamental change which women experience during the menopause and which, like other fundamental changes, needs mental preparation and acceptance if it is not to be found unbearable, Dr Greer examines medical theories and treatment over the ages, and finds them often contradictory, excessive and, at times, dangerous. She responds to the traditional attitude of men and society which has been responsible for the creation of an image of the older woman as fake damsel or old crone. Dr Greer has weighed up the facts, the theories and the outright fabrications.
