Third Edition
Edited By
Rogerio Lobo, Columbia University, New York, U.S.A.
Description
For anyone who treats postmenopausal women, this latest edition of Rogerio Lobo's classic work combines the best from two well-known references: Menopause, and the second edition of Treatment of the Postmenopausal Woman. By adding significant discussions of the
basic science behind menopause, it is possible to objectively assess the clinical value and limitations of current approaches to treatment
and provide a basis and rationale for strategies that will result in better individualized and specialized care. Not only does the third
edition discuss diagnosis and treatment of menopause but it covers biological, anatomical, physiological, pathobiological, and pharmacological
aspects as well bringing together, in one source, all of the information needed to understand and treat postmenopausal conditions.
