Menopause is a biological reality for all women in their forties and fifties. Yet the way we think about the cessation of menstruation is influenced by a variety of factors. Cultural and technological influences combine with biology to transform this universal phenomenon into an experience that varies considerably between cultures and individuals. In this concise book, Lynnette Leidy Sievert draws on her own case studies from Puebla, Mexico, and western Massachusetts, as well as on comparative data from other studies in places such as Slovenia, Paraguay, and Hawaii, to explore the different ways that women experience menopause around the world. Sievert suggests that attempts by medical professionals to define the “normal” occurrence of menopause, including its typical onset and symptoms, may not be realistic when considering how lifestyle, nutrition, and workload can contribute to diverging realities. She explores how women feel about hysterectomies, chemotherapy, and other medical procedures and treatments that stop menstruation prematurely. She also considers recent advances in technology, including post-menopausal birth, which have turned what was previously an unavoidable end of fertility into something that can be postponed. A unique comparative look at women’s experiences, this text brings new perspectives to the mainstream literature on the subject and invites readers to consider compelling questions about menopause, its meanings, and its future.

A real companion, this book deals with menstrual disorders in women and divides them appropriately into various life stages, from the neonatal period to post menopause. Blutungsstörungen zählen zu den häufigsten Symptomen in der gynäkologischen Praxis. 10-15 % der Frauen haben Zusatzblutungen, wobei die Dunkelziffer weit darüber liegt. Blutungsstörungen können schon bei Neugeborenen und Kindern auftreten. Die Diagnose und die richtige Einschätzung der Blutungsursachen ist eine schwierige Aufgabe für jeden Gynäkologen. Gerade da die Ursachen sowohl endogen als auch durch äußerliche Einflüsse bedingt sein können und ein Spektrum von Tumorerkrankungen, Hypertonus bis hin zu Hormonspiegelschwankungen ausfüllen, ist das Taschenbuch ein echter Ratgeber. Die 2., aktualisierte Auflage berücksichtigt die neuesten Klassifikationen der FIGO für Blutungsstörungen und Myome. Unter Einbeziehung aktueller Literatur behandelt das Buch Blutungsstörungen bei der Frau und unterteilt diese sinnvollerweise in mehrere Lebensphasen, angefangen bei der Neugeborenenperiode bis zur Postmenopause. Zu möglichen auftretenden Blutungsanomalien werden diagnostische und therapeutische Vorgehensweisen erläutert und empfohlen. In wertvollen Merksätzen und Tipps wird das Wichtigste zusammengefasst.
