title: A smooth start to a new age. Helping women cope with the menopause.
abstract: The menopause is a natural event in women's lives, but its associations with loss of fertility and its side-effects often lead to it being seen in a negative light. Nurses can help women control the side-effects so they may learn to see it as a positive change.
