LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Dr. Lois Jovanovic, a renowned endocrinologist and medical writer Genell J. Subak-Sharpe, have combined years of experience and expertise to present this authoritative and indispensable handbook that discusses in full detail the critical role hormones play in determining the quality of every woman's life. You will learn the answer to such important women's health questions as: Is post-menopausal hormone therapy safe; What causes hot flashes; Why do some women experience bloating, irritability, mood swings, and other symptoms at the onset of their periods, and much more.
Written by a physician and a medical writer, this book describes the role of hormones in the physiology of women from birth through menopause. Chapters cover endocrine disorders affecting the bones, the breasts, and the ovaries. Also discussed are diabetes and hypoglycemia, disorders of the thyroid and adrenal glands, eating disorders, and the effects of hormones on skin and hair. The authors give less attention to hormones' effect on the emotions, as in pre-menstrual syndrome. Much of the information in this book can be found elsewhere, but this readable text makes the subject accessible to lay readers. Recommended. Barbara Carroll, M.L.S. Eau Claire, Wis.
