The Geripause

Defined as the period of a woman's life after the postmenopause, the geripause is a life phase that has generally been understudied and undertreated. The Geripause: Medical Management During the Late Menopause describes the basic endocrine, medical, surgical, and psychological aspects of the geripause. The book focuses specifically on choosing the appropriate therapies for this ever-increasing population and examines the criteria used for making the final decision. It is co-authored by a reproductive endocrinologist-gynecologist and geriatrician-gerontologist and includes contributions from specialists who regularly treat this population of women.
