It gives practitioners a wonderful beginning upon which to develop their own unique style of interviewing that will lead to the identification and care of women experiencing postpartum mental disorders." - Jeanne Watson Driscoll, PhD, APRN, BC

During midlife, women often look to their physicians to help manage some of the distressing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Disease prevention is also a major concern for women during this midlife milestone. Dr. Gelfand and his team at the McGill Menopause Clinic offer definitive recommendations for menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor symptoms, mood swings, memory changes, and sexual dysfunction. Osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases will also be discussed.
Abnormal uterine bleeding can be experienced by a woman at any age. If organic pathology is absent, the bleeding is either anovulatory in premenopausal women or atrophic in menopausal women. Sonography, in the form of saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS), has gained widespread use as a useful tool for diagnosing this problem in women. Once the domain of obstetricians, the use of endovaginal probes with fluid instillation can enhance the assessment of the endometrium. Dr. Goldstein offers a step-wise approach to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding with a special emphasis on using this procedure to its fullest advantage.
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of women participating in organized sports over the past 30 years. Such women may develop several reproductive and skeletal conditions associated with such activity. These include menstrual irregularities such as primary and secondary amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and anovulation. Other susceptibilities include osteoporosis, disordered eating, urinary incontinence, and stress fractures. Dr. Warren reviews the special health concerns of the female athlete and gives clinicians up-to-date information on how to best help these individuals with their ongoing medical care.
