Abstract

Hoy en día sabemos que la menopausia es un estado fisiológico o un período evolutivo más en la mujer; en realidad se trata de una etapa de deficiencia crónica que se prolonga en ocasiones durante más de 20 años. Por lo que sé realizó un estudio longitudinal y descriptivo sobre las etapas de Climaterio y Menopausia, de un universo de 113 mujeres se tomó una muestra de 60 mujeres en las edades entre 45 a 55 años que constituye el 67.8 %, todas pertenecientes al Consultorio Médico # 197 del Policlínico Docente Comunitario Hermanos Cruz del municipio Pinar del Río; en los meses comprendidos de enero a julio de 2003. Para tales fines se creó el rapport necesario y procedimos a la aplicación de una encuesta donde se analizaron variables tales como: conceptos de climaterio y menopausia, manifestaciones clínicas que presentaban, vías por las cuales obtuvieron la información, entre otras. Los datos obtenidos mediante análisis porcentual fueron llevados a tablas aritméticas. Las relaciones sexuales se vieron afectadas principalmente por la disminución de la líbido, las vías de información fueron las de difusión masiva (radio y televisión), así como las enfermeras y los médicos; la mayoría creyó necesario la divulgación del tema, entre otras. Al finalizar la encuesta se le ofrecieron a las mujeres una serie de recomendaciones con el propósito de convertir esta etapa en más placentera y mejor tolerada por ellas.
