  • F Guidozzi Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Faculty of Health Science Wits Medical School.

Abstract

The menopause will bring with it a number of health challenges that may significantly affect the quality of life of women. Not uncommonly, women feel overwhelmed and daunted by what they perceive, or are led to believe, will occur with the menopause. Yet, provided that women understand and their physicians individualise care, the menopause can be a time of positive change. (SA Fam Pract 2005;47(3): 42-44)
