Overview
Menopause: All You Need to Know in One Concise Manual is a compact, evidence-focused hardback guide written by GP and menopause specialist Dr Louise Newson. Designed as a straightforward, fact-based reference, it explains what menopause is, when it typically occurs, what to expect, and how symptoms can be managed. Ideal for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, as well as partners, families and healthcare professionals who support them, this concise manual cuts through confusion with clear, accessible, practical guidance.

About the Book
Menopause is a natural stage that affects every woman at some point in life, yet at least one in four women experience severe symptoms that disrupt work, home life and relationships. This Concise Manual sets out to demystify that experience. Structured around the essential questions readers actually ask — what is menopause, when does it happen, what can be expected, and how can it be managed — the book walks through the physiological changes from perimenopause through to postmenopause, explaining common and less common symptoms along the way.

Topics covered include migraines, low mood, anxiety, osteoporosis, low libido and relationships, alongside evidence-based discussion of HRT, non-hormonal alternatives, lifestyle changes and diet, plus practical matters such as workplace adjustments and how to approach a GP. At just 128 pages, it is designed as a quick, reliable reference rather than an exhaustive textbook — something to keep at the bedside for whenever a question arises.

Written by a practising GP with a clinical specialism in menopause care, the book combines medical accuracy with an empathetic, patient-centred tone, making it a useful starting point for anyone wanting to understand the stages of menopause before further reading or a conversation with a healthcare professional.
