Surgical Menopause: Not Your Typical Menopause

by Helen Kemp, Karen Kenning, Sarah Williams

Surgical menopause is different. It can feel brutal. It involves removing a sizeable chunk of our endocrine system, and yet the majority of us are sent on our way after surgery with little more advice or information 'lift nothing heavier than a kettle of water for six week, and refrain from sex for the same duration'. Not Your Typical Menopause is a unique collection of narratives from women with lived experience of surgical menopause. Open, honest, courageous and brutally frank. If a surgical menopause is looming for you, this book will help ensure you are better informed and better able to meet some of the unique challenges that will likely ensue. Because, when it comes to our health, forewarned is indeed forearmed, and knowledge is power.

what a read

Everything I wish I had known to ask before my surgery was answered here. A must read for any about to go through surgical menopause. And a need to read before your operation not after.
