Women’s Hormonal Health Issues

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Women’s health issues have often been treated by gynecologist specialists as opposed to internal medicine specialists or subspecialists. Concerns of osteoporosis, menopause, and estrogen replacement therapy, as well as complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), including chronic graft-versus-host disease of the female genital tract, are routine for gynecologists. This chapter provides a women’s health specialist’s perspective on issues of hormonal health in the female HSCT recipient, drawing from observations made in the healthy female population.
