Its major emphasis is on the  consequences of the menopause and on androgen deficiency in the  absence of overt disease of the hypothalamus and\/or pituitary in men.

Whether older  men with some androgen deficiency symptoms and equivocally low plasma  testosterone concentrations should be treated with androgens is also a  matter of great debate, as is the efficacy and safety of plant  estrogens in the treatment of menopause-related complaints.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eSex Hormone Replacement Therapy\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to students  and non-specialists, as well as a wide range of medical practitioners  including endocrinologists, gynecologists, rheumatologists and  cardiologists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792379652\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-6507-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 136\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265576325260,"sku":"9780792379652","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792379652.jpg?v=1770785204","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792379652","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
