The Journal of The British Menopause Society
I liked the chapter on menstrual problems in women with developmental diseases and the emphasis on how sensitive the medical approach to such patients should be.

Menstrual Disorders blends the fields of covers all aspects of menstruation issues, including gynaecology, adolescent medicine, other medical subspecialties in a comprehensive overview of this critical topic in women's health and key 'hot topics' in the area.

The book is divided into three sections: Section I provides a detailed discussion of the adolescent patient; Section II covers the range of menstrual disorders that patients may experience from adolescence through menopause; and Section III examines the relationship between menstrual disorders and other medical illnesses.

Also included is coverage of 'hot topics', key issues that all clinicians and healthcare professionals should be aware of, including:
o Polycystic ovary syndrome
o Bleeding disorders
o Reproductive and contraceptive issues
o Hormone replacement therapy

The newest addition to the American College of Physician's acclaimed Women's Health Series provides in depth-coverage of the key diseases, disorders and health and wellness issues that are unique to female patients. Concise yet thorough, practical and authoritative, books in this series supply clinicians & healthcare professionals with all the knowledge they need to improve patient care, from the initial consultation through to diagnosis, treatment and long-term management. Menstrual Disorders is essential reading for all of those treating women in primary care.
