Cet ouvrage consacré à la ménopause a pour objectif de donner au praticien les clés pour répondre aux différentes situations cliniques en pratique courante. Il constitue donc une mise au point didactique de la périménopause et de la ménopause. La prise en charge de la ménopause est un enjeu majeur de santé publique compte tenu de l'allongement de l'espérance de vie. Comment prendre en charge la ménopause dans de multiples contextes cliniques ? L'ouvrage structuré à travers six parties a pour objet de comprendre les diverses modifications physiologiques induites par la carence hormonale de la ménopause ainsi que la prise en charge des femmes dans différentes situations cliniques de la plus simple aux pathologies les plus complexes. À partir des données les plus récentes de la littérature scientifique mais aussi de leur expérience clinique les nombreux auteurs de cet ouvrage offrent une prise en charge adaptée et individualisée à chaque femme. Une solution thérapeutique appropriée est toujours proposée pour chaque situation clinique qu'elle soit hormonale ou non hormonale. La problématique de l'utilisation du THM trop souvent décrié depuis plus de 15 ans est approfondie. Ainsi les clés de la balance bénéfice-risque individuelle sont apportées afin de permettre aux femmes souffrant de symptômes climatériques invalidants de pouvoir en bénéficier en l‘absence de contre-indication. Cet ouvrage tente de répondre aux questions précises des praticiens de terrain. Il s'adresse à tous les praticiens concernés par la santé des femmes à l'hôpital comme en médecine de ville en particulier les gynécologues médicaux obstétriciens chirurgiens gynécologues généralistes internes en formation…

"Are the ways we look at menopause all wrong? Historian Susan Mattern says yes, and The Slow Moon Climbs reveals just how wrong we have been. Taking readers from the rainforests of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, Mattern draws on historical, scientific, and cultural research to reveal how our perceptions of menopause developed from prehistory to today. For most of human history, people had no word for menopause and did not view it as a medical condition. Rather, in traditional foraging and agrarian societies, it was a transition to another important life stage. This book, then, introduces new ways of understanding life beyond fertility. Mattern examines the fascinating "Grandmother Hypothesis"--which argues for the importance of elders in the rearing of future generations - as well as other evolutionary theories that have generated surprising insights about menopause and the place of older people in society. She looks at agricultural communities where households relied on postreproductive women for the family's survival. And she explores the emergence of menopause as a medical condition in the Western world. It was only around 1700 that people began to see menopause as a dangerous pathological disorder linked to upsetting symptoms that rendered women weak and vulnerable. Mattern argues that menopause was another syndrome, like hysterical suffocation or melancholia, that emerged or reemerged in early modern Europe in tandem with the rise of a professional medical class. The Slow Moon Climbs casts menopause, at last, in the positive light it deserves - not only as an essential life stage, but also as a key factor in the history of human flourishing."--

Interviews with and case studies of women in the U.S., accompanied by research in this text, show how our perceptions, thoughts, and spiritual practices can help women through menopause without drugs and their potential side effects. More and more women today are seeking natural ways to cope with menopause, including through mindfulness techniques and Eastern practices such as meditation. Women of various races, ages, and socioeconomic status interviewed at length for this study explain their experiences, victories, and setbacks in their quests to overcome this natural but body- and brain-altering change. Complementing findings from her research with wider outside research, author Deborah Merrill explains how popular culture depictions, race, class, and education all alter women's perceptions of the meaning of menopause, and how those perceptions can complicate, exacerbate, or alleviate physical and psychological symptoms. She details the "medical view" that views menopause as a problem to be solved, rather than as a natural event. And, through women's words and case studies, she details psychospiritual approaches many are adopting to cope, instead of seeking potentially harmful medicines. Readers will find new insights, wisdom, and potential solutions in the array of voices, experiences, and paths taken and presented in this book.
