MARSHALL, Wis., May 6, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- The transition into menopause is a fact of life. In Suzette Buhr's new book, Dictionary Plus for Women (now available through 1stBooks), the questions many women have about this life- altering change are answered, in a straightforward, understanding way.
Dictionary Plus for Women supplies a database of information, facts and statistics regarding the changes before, during and after menopause. This dictionary is written in layman's terms, describing all medical references. Designed to be an empowering guide for women as they complete their journey through menopause, this wealth of knowledge will assist them in evaluating the topics that are important to them.
Buhr, a registered technologist in radiology, began her research on this book at the age of 36, when she found herself in medical need of a total hysterectomy. She faced this experience with as much knowledge and research as she could consume. Her book holds valued information from doctors, female friends and family, as well as four years of extensive medical research.
Edited by obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Robert Christmann, Dictionary Plus for Women is an accurate, reliable source of medical information. It describes not only traditional western medical procedures, but also details the pros and cons of vitamins, minerals, herbal remedies and alternative therapies. This medical dictionary also lists the menopausal affects on the skin, hair, vision, memory, hormones and so much more.
Buhr graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1985 and has attended short courses at Madison Area Technical College. Her caring for others has been a rewarding and learning experience while working in hospital and clinical settings. This is her first book, and she is currently working on more books in her Dictionary Plus series. She has also been published in a variety of newspapers and magazines, including This Old Barn, Photographer's Edge, Birds & Blooms, Working Mother and The Wisconsin State Journal. She lives in Wisconsin with her husband, Jim, and their two children, Alicia and Josh.
