October 2024 Monthly Literature Search – Menopause
This month’s literature search is on Menopause. Menopause is not an illness or a medical condition. It is a normal component of the female life cycle, and it is a women’s health issue with social and economic consequences (Affiliation of Australian Women’s Action Alliances). The library highlights information on perimenopause and menopause.
