The M Word: Everything You Need to Know about the Menopause

Having written several books and regularly contributing to online and print magazines as a medical expert, loyal Londoner Dr. Philippa Kaye trained in gynaecology, paediatrics, psychiatry (and more) before becoming a GP.

Her most recent book, The M Word dismantles the deep-rooted taboo of the menopause. Covering all the things you were (most likely) never taught about, Dr Kaye uses her expert training to discuss topics surrounding the peri-menopause and menopause. Hot flushes, lowering libido and symptoms that hit before menstruation ends are all included and backed up by what’s actually going on in your body, from the cells upward. In a light-hearted, friendly and upbeat manner, Dr. Kaye explains the science of menopause so those of use who are not accustomed to scientific speak can easily understand what’s going on.

Whether you yourself are experiencing the peri/menopause or if someone close to you is, this book is a great opportunity to develop your understanding and empathy on a topic that directly or indirectly affects all of society.
