A Unique Decision-Making Tool for Daily Practice

This evidence-based resource provides easy-to-use, expert guidance on the assessment and treatment of common perimenopausal problems seen in daily office practice. After a brief overview of physiologic and endocrinologic changes, and the staging of the perimenopause (by STRAW definition), you'll find practical, easy-to-access coverage of:

  • Management of specific symptoms and problems, such as hot flashes, cognitive changes, breast masses, and osteoporosis
  • Preventive clinical practice, featuring in-depth coverage of hormone replacement therapies
  • Alternative therapies, including vitamins, herbs, and phytoestrogens

    Separate sections cover screening tests and all major alternative therapies.

    About the Practical Pathways Series:

    Practical Pathways in Obstetrics & Gynecology is a unique series specially designed to tackle the challenging clinical topics encountered in daily practice. Each title in the series features a standardized, user-friendly approach that guides you systematically through evaluation, diagnosis, and management:

  • A high-yield, algorithmic Pathway at the start of most chapters provides an “at-a-glance” summary of recommended management
  • What's the Evidence? questions summarize major clinical trials and their application to daily practice
  • Guiding Questions review what strategic questions clinicians should ask themselves when first evaluating a patient
  • Key Points are highlighted in the margins
  • Case Studies demonstrate the clinical application of concepts, and further hone diagnostic skills
  • References facilitate further research or study
