Everything You Need to Know About the Menopause (but were too afraid to ask) – Muir Kate (2023)

This English-language guide to perimenopause and menopause combines interviews with leading medical experts, women’s personal experiences and Kate Muir’s own account of her journey. It explores the biology of hormones and ageing, the effects of menopause on the body and mind, sexual wellbeing, mental health and the treatment options available. Muir examines why medicine has often misunderstood menopause, challenges myths surrounding hormone replacement therapy and considers the poor science and sensational headlines that have affected women’s health. The book is also a social, cultural and scientific exploration of a neglected subject, calling for equality in healthcare and a new approach to women’s health.
