Sex Hormone Replacement Therapy addresses important issues in
contemporary endocrinology. Its major emphasis is on the
consequences of the menopause and on androgen deficiency in the
absence of overt disease of the hypothalamus and/or pituitary in
men. The use of hormone therapy for the primary prevention of
cardiovascular disease in post-menopausal women has become an area
of major debate, and the pros and cons are examined in detail.
Secondary prevention also remains controversial and is addressed in
this volume. An issue of particular concern is the treatment of
estrogen deficiency symptoms in women with the diagnosis of breast
cancer. Whether older men with some androgen deficiency symptoms
and equivocally low plasma testosterone concentrations should be
treated with androgens is also a matter of great debate, as is the
efficacy and safety of plant estrogens in the treatment of
menopause-related complaints. Sex Hormone Replacement Therapy will
be of interest to students and non-specialists, as well as a wide
range of medical practitioners including endocrinologists,
gynecologists, rheumatologists and cardiologists.
