As baby boomers hit their late forties and fifties, women are entering menopause in record numbers. Soon, for the first time in history, there will be more women beyond menopause than have yet to go through it. Yet, amazingly, getting reliable, practical information about menopause isn’t easy.

If you’re really persistent, you can hunt down an article or two in medical journals, but it’s a safe bet that you’ll be sound asleep long before you find straightforward answers even to one of your practical questions.

Whether you’re going through the change, have already been there, or are about to start off down that road, you’ll find the information you need in Menopause For Dummies.

  • Make sense of the hormone therapy debate
  • Ask intelligent questions and discuss your alternatives with you doctor

  • Live a long, healthy life

    I read the entire book after purchase. I was just starting perimenopause and wanted to get an idea of what to expect. It was informative and easy to read. But as I began to experience symptoms, I began looking back to certain sections for information and guidance. It was my bible! And very helpful

    A must read to fill many gaps doctors don't have the time to explain. It's an excellent book. It's extremely useful, detailed and easy to read.
    The information is very well organized and it's full of practical advise from the simplest to the most complex. It goes very deep into technicalities although they are marked to skip them in case you are not interested in so much info. And I like the touches of humor spread all around the book that make a not-so-much-fun theme and enjoyable learning.

    As I realized perimenopause was upon me I knew I needed a basic guide. This gives the facts and helped me start the process of making decisions about my health. It is straight forward, no frills. They lay out is easy to read. I am digging deeper with other sources but this gave me a jump start. Using now as a reference guide as things come up and I have basic questions.

    I went to sleep a 17 year old girl and woke up I. This middle aged body. I am not pleased at this whole again thing, but at least I have this book to help me navigate through the bumpy parts. Easy to read, as I have the concentration span of a bug. I can pick it up and read from anywhere. I don't think this is the most current edition, but some things stay the same. I'm satisfied with this purchase.

I love this book...if you know someone about to hit menopause this is the book to give them...they will love it...and they will be better informed as to what to expect through out the stages of menopause...this is the best book I ever bought!!!!!!!!!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2009

    In this case, NO! It wasn't a MAN thing-It was a WOmen thing. My friend's wife of 18 years left him, blaming it on menopause. He wanted to be sympathetic, understanding, and of course, KNOWLEDGEABLE about his wife's condition. Although it didn't save their marriage (because she really wanted to travel around Europe and use the poor man for his money,) it DID increase his knowledge. He gave her the book to increase HER understanding about the way she felt, and how to counteract it; BUT she read the book on the airplane enroute BACK to the U.K. All in all, the book did its job; it was clear, concise, and easy to follow. However,there should be a disclaimer on it saying: "It can't save your marriage." Buy the book and see for yourself what a good "guide" it was. I recommend buying it from Amazon! PS Can anyone recommend a good divorce lawyer in the Pocono, PA area? He DESERVES to get MORE THAN HALF!!

    This book was really helpful. I needed something to bring a touch of humor to this serious, frightening subject. I read and read then saw my doctor and all the details in the book were the same as I got from my doctor. The book gave me great information to discuss with the doctor -- recommendations for age appropriate tests, etc. I felt much more in control of myself armed with this understanding of what was happening. I have already recommended this to friends.
