Book excerpt: Surgical menopause is a different beast when compared to natural menopause. No worse, no better. Just different. It involves removing a sizeable chunk of our endocrine system, and yet the majority of us are sent on our way after surgery with little more advice or information than: 'lift nothing heavier than a kettle of water for six week, and refrain from sex for the same duration'. Not Your Typical Menopause is a unique collection of narratives from women with lived experience of surgical menopause. Open, honest, courageous and brutally frank. If a surgical menopause is looming for you, this book will help ensure you are better informed and better able to meet some of the unique challenges that will likely ensue. Because, when it comes to our health, forewarned is indeed forearmed, and knowledge is power.

Download or read book Vaginal Hysterectomy written by Shirish S Sheth and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-09-26 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years advances in laparoscopic technologies have led to renewed interest in the vaginal approach to hysterectomy, which has many proven benefits for patients. This volume, dedicated to explaining and promoting the vaginal route of hysterectomy, is written and edited by an international team of experts and provides a much-needed source of up-to-date information and instruction. Importantly, the authors caution that laparoscopic technology can provide a valuable source of assistance for the gynaecological surgeon in certain circumstances, though only in a percentage of cases. This book, beautifully illustrated with line drawings and full-colour photographs, contains step-by-step surgical techniques, enabling the surgeon to gain confidence and experience so that gradually more challenging operations can be managed successfully via the vaginal route. Acknowledged authorities from around the world take the reader through the indications and contra-indications for the vaginal approach, explain crucial preoperative assessment procedures, and offer an evidence-based elucidation of the 'why', 'when' and 'how' of vaginal hysterectomy. Specific topics considered here include: the nulliparous patient, uterine fiboids, debulking, the use of gonadtrophin-releasing hormone agonists, oophorectomy and prophylactic oophorectomy, adnexectomy for adnexal pathology, genital prolapse, the place of sacrospinous colpopexy, urethral sphincter incompetence, hormone replacement therapy, and the psychological and sexual outcomes of hysterectomy. In addition, the authors set forth the arguments for and against vaginal hysterectomy, abdominal hysterectomy, laparoscopic assistance, and transcervical resection of the endometrium. Combined with a full review of the potential complications, morbidity and mortality associated with the vaginal approach, this book provides the reader with a well-balanced, thorough and considered appraisal of vaginal hysterectomy. As the incidence of hysterectomy worldwide continues to rise, Vaginal Hysterectomy will be an indespensable reference for practising gynaecologists, surgeons, consultants and postgraduates.

Download or read book Menopause ECAB written by Rama Vaidya and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Menopause is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Stages of Reproductive Ageing and Workshop (STRAW) working group as the permanent cessation of menstrual periods that occurs naturally or is induced by surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Natural menopause is recognized after 12 consecutive months without menstrual periods that are not associated with other causes. Although surprising, it is interesting to note the plethora of complaints that menopausal women present with all over the world. In the US, UK, and the United Arab Emirates, hot flushes are the most common symptom reported, while women from Japan, India, and Singapore suffer mostly from joint pain. A postmenopausal woman should take into her stride the fact that menopause is a change in life, and not the end of life. Support groups should be functional in counseling these women who often face menopause in the midst of many other crises in life, like elderly parents and grown-up children leaving their nests empty to move ahead in life. Menopause is best tolerated when it is already anticipated, and social workers, doctors, and other paramedical personnel should all join hands in providing the necessary information, education, and communicating with these women at their hour of need.

Her insightful words of caution have been backed up by the stunning results of the recent studies on hormone replacement. In this revised edition, Dr. Love offers a remarkably clear set of guidelines as to what the studies have shown about the risks regarding heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and other conditions, and what effect hormone therapy has on osteoporosis. She offers definitive expert advice about whether or not to go on hormone replacement therapy and, if so, for how long, as well as how to taper off hormones; and she introduces the alternative methods for treating the symptoms of menopause. Dr. Love stresses that menopause is not a disease that needs to be cured—it is a natural life stage, and every woman ought to choose her own mix of options for coping with symptoms. A questionnaire about your own health history and life preferences helps you develop a program that will best fit your unique needs. With clarity and compassion, she walks you through every option for both the short and the long term, including: • lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and stress management) • alternative therapies (including herbs and homeopathic remedies) • available medications other than hormones
