Take Control of Your Menopause with a Smart Approach
This book is full of clinical insights and encouragement for any woman to understand and minimise the effects of their menopause, whatever their personal circumstances, at different times in their lives.
That might be about improving your lifestyle habits in sustained ways, realising the benefits of hormone replacement therapies or alternative treatments, adopting digital aids so that you have a smart approach to beating your menopause.
We’ve tended to focus on easily available, accessible and affordable digital aids like apps, and modes of delivery of patient care that are recommended by trustworthy organisations like the NHS or national charities.
Not all of the digital aids included here are freely available via NHS or social care providers; but if not, they are reasonably priced and easily bought online or in retail shops or pharmacies. The digital aids we’ve included throughout this handbook are just examples that we’d recommend to you - but there are lots more apps, devices and online resources available than we have capacity to cover here.
