  Menopause is a natural part of ageing, but sometimes it comes too soon. It can be precipitated by a number of factors: hysterectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, anorexia, premature ovarian failure and other conditions. In 'Sudden Menopause', young women facing the trauma of unanticipated menopause are given the information and support they need to adjust to the impact it has on their lives. This book tackles topics of immediate concern, such as hot flushes and emotional and cognitive changes as well as long-term health issues such as osteoporosis and heart disease. Other topics include: how to talk to your doctor; vitamins, herbs and supplements; keeping your heart healthy; memory disturbances and sleep; nutrition and weight management and hormone replacement therapy. The author's personal experience of sudden menopause and her expertise as a women's health practitioner allow her to thoroughly explore the options available to women experiencing menopause. She has worked with and talked to dozens of women, and their case studies and comments help to reassure the reader that she can confidently navigate her way through menopause.
