Abstract

The climacteric is a natural period in every woman's life.
The ovaries gradually stop producing estrogen and progesterone, the hormones responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle. This hormonal deficiency causes a series of symptoms and changes that, although variable for each woman, can affect her psychological and physical well-being.

When menstruation disappears permanently, it is referred to as menopause (12 months without a period). Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 48 and 54. Before the age of 40, it is considered premature and usually requires treatment.
