Overview
For anyone who treats postmenopausal women, this latest edition of Rogerio Lobo's classic work combines the best from two well-known references: Menopause, and the second edition of Treatment of the Postmenopausal Woman. By adding significant discussions of the basic science behind menopause, it is possible to objectively assess the clinical value and limitations of current approaches to treatment and provide a basis and rationale for strategies that will result in better individualized and specialized care. Not only does the third edition discuss diagnosis and treatment of menopause but it covers biological, anatomical, physiological, pathobiological, and pharmacological aspects as well bringing together, in one source, all of the information needed to understand and treat postmenopausal conditions.

Overall, this is an extremely useful and pertinent reference for any clinician providing care to peri- and postmenopausal women and competes as one of the most comprehensive and current menopause books available. The new edition is timely as we incorporate the WHI results and the lessons learned about hormonal therapy into our practices and our management of women in the menopause. -Tessa E Madden, MD, MPH (Washington University School of Medicine) for DOODY'S BOOK REVIEWS, www.doodyenterprises.com.
