"Setiap wanita pasti akan mengalami menopause atau mati haid pada usia sekitar 50-an. Pada waktu itu hormon-hormon kewanitaan secara bertahap mulai tidak diproduksi lagi. Perubahan-perubahan yang disebabkan berkurangnya hormon-hormon tersebut menimbulkan berbagai gejala yang sangat tidak nyaman, yang bahkan bisa mengganggu aktivitas Anda sebagai wanita karier maupun sebagai ibu rumahtangga. Berbagai gejala tersebut misalnya semburan panas (hot flashes), vagina kering, suasana hati (mood) yang tidak menentu (uring-uringan, sedih, depresi), mudah lupa, insomnia, keringat membanjir di kala tidur malam hari dan banyak lagi, sudah dimulai sejak 10 tahun sebelum menopause. Menghilangnya hormon-hormon kewanitaan juga membawa konsekuensi kesehatan yang serius karena tubuh tidak lagi terlindungi. Berbagai konsekuensi kesehatan bisa saja muncul jika Anda tidak waspada. Osteoporosis, jantung, stroke, kanker payudara, tekanan darah dan kadar kolesterol darah yang tak terkendali, dan sebagainya. Sebagai wanita yang hidup di zaman modern, bagaimana sebaiknya kita menyikapi menopause?

Buku ini membahas tuntas berbagai permasalahan seputar menopause."
