Answer all your menopause questions in the first-ever book to not only tell you what happens - but show you.

Fully illustrated and backed up by the latest research, The Science of Menopause is essential reading for anyone who wants to know not only what to expect during the perimenopause, but also why it happens and what you can do about it.

GP and women's health expert Dr Philippa Kaye answers over 100 questions on the menopause, including symptoms, lifestyle choices, and treatment:



When will the menopause happen for me?
Why do I get hot flushes and sweats and how can I manage them?
Why can't I sleep? Why do I feel low and anxious?
What is a healthy diet for the menopause?
What is HRT? What are the benefits, and what options are there if I don't want it?

Discover how our brains change, why the perimenopause doesn't mean an end to great sex, and the treatments options that can help, including HRT, vaginal oestrogen, and non-hormonal options.

Packed with practical advice, charts, diagrams, and engaging illustrations, The Science of Menopause provides an accessible, evidence-based take on the menopause - all while offering reassurance and a helping hand.
