Discovering that you are experiencing menopause in your teenage years or early twenties can be incredibly devastating; receiving the same diagnosis in your late thirties can be overwhelming; and being told that you are post-menopausal while undergoing fertility treatment in your early forties can leave you completely blindsided. This is not the typical, expected hormonal transition that occurs during midlife for other, older women.

The Complete Guide to POI and Early Menopause provides a comprehensive roadmap to navigating the emotional and hormonal rollercoaster that accompanies these diagnoses. Drawing on their own experiences and clinical expertise, the authors bring together the latest research, insights, and the voices of women themselves with a holistic approach that prioritizes empowerment and health.

This book covers a wide range of topics, including:

- Causes of early menopause and POI
- When and how to seek a diagnosis
- Medical and surgical menopause
- Hormonal and non-hormonal treatments
- Nutrition, lifestyle, and self-care
- Fertility
- Sexual wellbeing, relationships, and self-identity
- Early menopause, education, and work

Inclusive, compassionate, and featuring FAQs, guidelines, and further resources, this book is the only one you will ever need if you are facing the unique challenges of menopause and POI at a stage of life when you least expected it.
