Vstupte do nové životní fáze s hrdostí a získejte kontrolu nad svým zdravím. Menopauza je normální životní fáze a evoluční výhoda, ale může být nepředvídatelná. Hormonální změny, které se objevují po čtyřicítce, mohou mít různé projevy a mohou přinést zdravotní komplikace. Co se týká vás? Kdy a co očekávat, když ne menstruaci? Gynekoložka Jen Gunterová vás uklidní a objasní, že menopauza není nemoc, ale plánovaná změna, kterou nemusíte tiše snášet kvůli předsudkům a misogynním postojům. Lepší strategií je vybavit se informacemi: pochopením toho, co se děje, a jak s tím zacházet, získáte sebedůvěru při rozhodování o svém zdraví. Kromě srozumitelných vysvětlení najdete v knize i praktické tipy, jak se s menopauzou a postmenopauzou vypořádat.
In her follow-up to the #1 bestseller, Dr. Jen Gunter, a Canadian OB/GYN and advocate for women's health, empowers readers by dispelling myths and misunderstandings about menopause with hard facts, real science, and expert advice. The unpredictability of menopause, combined with misinformation and societal shame surrounding women's bodies, leaves many unsure of what to expect during this transition. Menopause is not a disease but a natural change, akin to puberty, and education about it should begin years in advance. Understanding the changes, their causes, and how to manage them is both empowering and reassuring. Dr. Gunter's frank and humorous approach debunks misogynistic attitudes and demystifies menopause, providing essential insights into various aspects, including perimenopause, hot flashes, sleep disruption, sex and libido, mood changes, skin and hair issues, outdated therapies, breast health, and health maintenance screening. This guide is filled with practical tips and startling insights, aiming to revolutionize women's experiences of menopause and demonstrate how their lives can improve during this phase.
A landmark book on menopause by The New York Times bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and everyone's favourite gynaecologist, Dr Jen Gunter.
Having a premature baby -- a baby born before the thirty-seventh week of pregnancy -- can be a crash course in both medicine and health economics, not just in parenting. Parents face complex information, difficult decisions, and overwhelming grief and worry -- with challenges that often extend well beyond those early days and weeks. As an ob/gyn, Dr. Jennifer Gunter has delivered hundreds of premature babies, but as a mother of preemie triplets, she also understands the heartbreak and challenges of prematurity. The Preemie Primer is a comprehensive resource, covering topics from delivery, hospitalization, and preemie development to parenting multiples, handling health issues, and finding special-needs programs. Compassionate, engaging, and medically grounded, The Preemie Primer is the first book on prematurity to combine the insight of a doctor with the experience of a mom.
