I just finished reading the book "Menopause" by Sally Conway. The book was written about 20 years ago. Her husband(Jim Conway) wrote a lot of male mid-life books and they run a clinic in California devoted to mid-life problems. She seems to really advocate estrogen, along with other things. I need to do some more research on what happens if you don't take estrogen. According to S. Conway Osteoporosis, heart disease, and other things are the major problems. She seems to think that doctors and OBGYN are using old information about the risks of cancer with ERT. It was an interesting book, I just wonder how up to date the knowledge is.
I have a more recent book called "The Wisdom of Menopause" by Christine Northrup will start reading that to see if their are different ideas. Also got Men in Mid-Life Crisis by Jim Conway. My reading continues. I have really read a lot of books now. Quite a change for me.
