After menopause.
Women of 50 today have roughly the same number of years to look forward to as they have already lived as reproductive women. Many women will live 30,40 or even 50 years post menopause. This very important period in women's lives has been studied little and viewed negatively by the medical profession and society at large. The purpose of this paper is to examine the psychological and physiological concerns of women at menopause. Self-help measures that are effective in managing the physical and psychological aspects of menopause are discussed. Hormone replacement therapy as a method of managing menopause is examined. Women are challenged to sort out the myths surrounding menopause, to take charge of their health and to move into this second season of their lives filled with vitality and joy.
