Menopause, Me and You will help you put menopause in proper
perspective--as a normal and natural developmental process in the
lives of women, not as a disorder or state that causes disease.
This informative book gives you self-monitoring tools for
collecting information and monitoring changes in your body during
menopause. These tools will also help you understand the dynamics
of the change process. A guideline as to how to best use this
information when interacting with care providers--especially those
who view menopause as a disorder to be treated--is also
included.Menopause, Me and You is filled with information-gathering
tools, scientific facts, and stories from the true "experts" on
menopause--the women themselves who have experienced or are
experiencing menopause. In chapter after chapter, you ll gain
valuable information for viewing menopause from a woman-centered
perspective. Specifically, the book includes: detailed information
on conception and fertilization, reconceptualizing these events
from a woman-centered, feminist perspective a description and
reconceptualization of the menstrual cycle and menstruation,
providing the knowledge base--the physiological, endrocrinological,
and biochemical mechanisms that regulate the menstrual cycle and
menstruation--to understand menopause as the closure of menstrual
life and not the end of life a journey into the steroid hormone
target cell--shows, at a scientific level, that women were
genetically programmed to end the production of reproductive
hormones a description and clarification of some of the terms used
to describe menopause common menopausal changes and diseases
attributed to being estrogen-deficient tools for gathering
information, for "discovering knowledge," about yourself--a
menstrual calendar card, hot flash body diagrams, a basal body
temperature record, a body composition record, a menstrual bleeding
scale, and factors to consider when choosing a care providerThe
women who share their experiences in Menopause, Me and You
represent women at various stages of menopause. They describe for
you what they are feeling as well as what it means to be a mid-life
woman at the closure of reproductive life; they celebrate the end
of menstruation but curse the changes--including mood swings, hot
flashes, and vaginal/bleeding changes--they are experiencing. These
changes are normal and expected, however, and need to be understood
in that context. They are not symptoms of disease or an excuse for
care providers to instantly prescribe hormones or drugs. With the
information in Menopause, Me and You, women nearing or experiencing
menopause, health care providers, such as nurses, health educators,
and physicians, and counselors will better understand how women
view this transition and come to accept it as another normal,
necessary, and beautiful process in the lives of women.
