Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Women now in their 40s can expect to live for about 40 years after the menopause. Despite the medical benefits of hormone replacement therapy, only 15 per cent of the eligble population in the UK are offered this option, and most women who do take it do so for less than one year. General practitioners and other primary health care workers are often confused by the profusion of hormone replacement therapy preparations and by the research on the risks and benefits of
hormone replacement therapy, and find it hard to answer women's questions and to advise and treat them appropriately. This book reviews the evidence available and advises on all aspects of therapy.
Long description:
This small, focused book gives an evidence-based approach to the current data on the often bewildering profusion of hormone replacement therapy preparations, and the emerging research trials on the risks and benefits of HRT. It is written by a general practitioner, an expert nurse practitioner, and a gynaecologist - with contributions from other specialists; and is intended as a guide for all those involved in primary care, training grade gynaecologists, and
concerned women. The contents include: a brief discussion of the historical and cultural aspects of the menopause; an in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of HRT; a summary of currently available preparations, as well as specific and relative contraindications; specific chapters on HRT and breast
cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and dementia; and alternatives to HRT; the GP consultation; and remuneration.
This concise and readable book is an excellent guide to primary care management of HRT...Its easy format makes it an excellent reference book.
