Abstract

Nowadays, the menopause is an issue of concern for women who suffer it and for the scientific community. The menopause is a period in which women stop menstruating and they experience some changes in their body that mark end of their reproductive period; we noted that symptoms are not the same in all women. There are some biological and socioeconomic factors which affect the form of appearance and symptoms: anxiety, depression, host flashed, sleep disorder, incontinence, sexual difficulties, etc. It was found that these types of symptoms do not affect in the same way or intensity to all women. Also it was explained the variables that have been related with a greater risk and protection, for example, the attitude or the belief about the menopause was an important factor related to this experience. The principal treatment of these symptoms was reviewed in this manuscript, explained by the principal findings of the literature. In conclusion, there are some types of treatments that have been proven effective and should include like coadjuvant treatment to improve the quality of life of the women with these problems. Hence, a multidisciplinary and preventive treatment could be the key.
