Could It Be...Perimenopause?: How Women 35-50 Can Overcome Forgetfulness, Mood Swings, Insomnia, Weight Gain, Sexual Dysfunction and Other Telltale Signs of Hormonal Imbalance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Everyone else raves but I really really didn't like this book.Here are my reasons:
-he rejects all herbal remedies because they have not been FDA approved.I admit there are problems with quality control and no you shouldn't ask the check out clerk for advice on natural remedies but there are other educated practitioners, even doctors, who can give advice on natural remedies.
-he is too quick to recommend a hysterectomy.While he says that you shouldn't have a D & C to try to identify excessive bleeding if you're going to have any surgery you might as well have a hysterectomy, forget myomectomy or any other less invasive surgery.I'm quite happy that I got rid of my fibroids with a myomectomy and still have my uterus - thank goodness my doctor didn't agree with this book.
-the book is 4 years old now and doesn't take into consideration the recent studies which show that HRT may not be the right way to go.I'd like to know how those studies affect his recommendation that all perimenopausal women take low dose birth control pills
-he seems to have only one answer for perimenopause and that's low dose birth control pills.I'm always suspicious of complicated problems that have only one answer.

I'm still looking for a book that I feel comfortable with.
