Modern menopause management.
As the general population ages, the impact of menopause and the special problems it presents becomes greater. Publications in the scientific literature over the past year have addressed important aspects of the care of the postmenopausal patient. From estrogen replacement strategies and the roles of estrogen in heart disease and osteoporosis, to endometrial sampling and the evaluation of the postmenopausal ovary, articles of use to the clinician have appeared.
