ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analizar la función sexual y el síndrome climatérico en mujeres de 45 a 64 años residentes de la Región de Ñuble. Métodos: Se realizó un muestreo no probabilístico a conveniencia con 251 mujeres. Se utilizaron dos instrumentos, Menopause Rating Scale y Female Sexual Function Index. El análisis estadístico incluyó pruebas descriptivas, ANOVA y correlación de Pearson. Resultados: El grupo etario más frecuente fue de 45 a 49 años. En síntomas climatéricos, se destacan molestias moderadas en lo somático. La función sexual evaluada por la escala Female Sexual Function Index, muestra variabilidad. La correlación entre Menopause Rating Scale y Female Sexual Function Index indica que un mayor puntaje en el primero se relaciona con menor función sexual. Conclusiones: Existe una prevalencia significativa de síntomas climatéricos en mujeres, con molestias moderadas en lo somático y leves en lo psicológico y urogenital. Variabilidad en la función sexual; puntajes más altos en dolor y más bajos en lubricación y orgasmo. Existe una correlación inversa entre las escalas Menopause Rating Scale y el Female Sexual Function Index(AU)


Objective: To analyze sexual function and climacteric syndrome in women aged 45 to 64 years residing in the Ñuble Region. Methods: A non-probabilistic convenience sampling was carried out with 251 women. Two instruments were used, Menopause Rating Scale and Female Sexual Function Index. Statistical analysis included descriptive tests, ANOVA and Pearson correlation. Results: The most common age group was 45 to 49 years. In climacteric symptoms, moderate somatic discomfort stands out. Sexual function, assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index scale, shows variability. The correlation between Menopause Rating Scale and Female Sexual Function Index indicates that a higher Menopause Rating Scale score is related to lower sexual function. Conclusions: There is a significant prevalence of climacteric symptoms in women, with moderate somatic discomfort and mild psychological and urogenital discomfort. Variability in sexual function; higher scores on pain and lower on lubrication and orgasm. There is an inverse correlation between the Menopause Rating Scale and Female Sexual Function Index scales(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: Menopause, defined as cessation of menstruation for at least one year duration, due to exhaustion of the ovarian functions. 'Perimenopause' or 'climacteric' is the period of transition in which the woman's body makes the changes for menopause.Methods: A cross- sectional study by recruiting 100 female participants between 40-45 years.Results: 56% women have not heard about the term menopause or perimenopause. 50% thought that stoppage of menstrual cycle was a natural phenomenon and 70% had no idea about the risk factors of perimenopause or menopause. 68% females did not know about hormone replacement therapy.Conclusions: More spread of awareness and health education is needed regarding the same so as to clarify the doubts and bust the many myths existing so as to help women have a smooth transition to menopause and have a healthy and productive post-menopausal life.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Recent studies have related the climacteric period with changes in connective tissue elasticity that may be related to diastasis recti abdominis. Mat Pilates is a method of exercise without impact that currently has more practitioners, due to its satisfactory results. However, there are no studies that evaluate the effectiveness of mat Pilates for women with diastasis recti abdominis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the mat Pilates program in climacteric women with diastasis recti abdominis. METHODS: This randomized single-blinded clinical trial evaluated climacteric women with diastasis recti abdominis. The participants were randomized into the experimental group, which participated in 3 weekly sessions of mat Pilates for 12 weeks for a total of 36 sessions, and the control group (without exercises). The inter-rectus distance was measured with a digital caliper. The G*Power Version 3.1.9.2. software was used for the sample calculation, and the SPSS 20.0 program was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The study comprised 21 women, including 10 in the control group and 11 in the experimental group, with mean ages of 54.3 ± 7.1 and 55.3 ± 6.0 years and body mass index values of 28.8 ± 5.5 kg/m2 and 29.9 ± 4.48 kg/m2, respectively. In the experimental group, reductions were observed in all the measures related to diastasis recti abdominis (p<0.05) in the supraumbilical, umbilical, and infra-umbilical regions. CONCLUSION: The mat Pilates method is effective for reducing diastasis recti abdominis in the climacteric period.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El envejecimiento de la población en todo el mundo es un fenómeno progresivo y Chile no se queda atrás frente a esto. Actualmente existe un subprograma de climaterio mujeres entre los 45 a 64 años, que presenta diversas acciones y propósitos. Objetivo: Describir la cobertura de la aplicación de la Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) e indicación de terapia de reemplazo hormonal en mujeres inscritas en los CESFAM de la comuna de Pedro Aguirre Cerda. Método: Descriptivo transversal. Resultados: La cobertura de aplicación de MRS en mujeres entre 45-64 años fue de un 62,6%. Un 34,3% de mujeres presentaron un puntaje MRS alterado, indicándose terapia hormonal en un 37,8% de los casos, en las indicaciones un 21,8% eran usuarias candidatas acorde a criterios médicos y un 78,2% no lo eran. Conclusiones: Se debe aumentar la cobertura de MRS y recursos para exámenes de laboratorio, de imágenes y capacitaciones, esto para mejorar la entrega de las prestaciones en el subprograma climaterio.


Introduction: The aging of the population worldwide is a progressive phenomenon and Chile is not lagging behind in this. Currently, there is a climacteric subprogram for women between 45 and 64 years of age, which has various actions and purposes. Objective: To describe the coverage of the application of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and indication of hormone replacement therapy in women enrolled in the CESFAM of the commune of Pedro Aguirre Cerda. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: The coverage of the MRS application in women between 45-64 years old was 62.6%. A 34.3% of women presented an altered MRS score, indicating hormone therapy in 37.8% of the cases, 21.8% of the indications were candidates according to medical criteria and 78.2% were not. Conclusions: There is a lack of labs and images tests in the climacteric controls, resulting in a mayor number of women no candidates to the hormonal therapy according to medical criteria.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to determine the effect of mandala coloring on anxiety and quality of life of women in the climacteric period. METHODS: This research was conducted as an experimental study based on a randomized controlled pre-test and post-test model (single-blind). The study was conducted with women in the climacteric period who presented to a training and research hospital in a western city of Turkey between November 1, 2022, and April 28, 2023. Participants were divided into mandala coloring (n=38) and control groups (n=38). RESULTS: According to the women's socio-demographic and descriptive characteristics, mean age, body mass index, and frequency of menopausal symptoms were similar in both groups. The mean post-test scores of the women in the mandala coloring group on the state-trait anxiety inventory and menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual subscales (29.71±5.22, 0.86±0.97, 0.53±0.61, 0.79±0.84, and 0.92±1.24, respectively) were lower than the mean post-test scores of the women in the control group on the same scales (41.02±1.20, 1.79±1.76, 1.49±1.39, 1.72±1.38, and 1.95±1.82, respectively) (p=0.000). CONCLUSION: Mandala coloring reduces menopause-related anxiety levels and improves quality of life effectively.

ABSTRACT

Abstract High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with cervical cancer while low-risk HPV strains mostly cause benign lesions. Multiple studies have also associated HPV with coronary artery (CAD) disease in women. Furthermore, the climacteric period in women, triggers chronic inflammation and has major implications for CAD and associated lipid disorders. The association of HPV with coronary artery disease in climacteric women has few studies, and the objective of this review is to gather and analyse scientific data on the subject. This is an integrative review performed on PubMed and Google Scholar using the keywords "HPV", "coronary heart disease" and "climacteric", among these keywords the boolean operator AND and the publication date filter. (2018 onwards). Five articles were found, whose main results show presence of high-risk vaginal HPV in climacteric women. Climacterium and HPV were associated with a three-fold increased risk of CAD, as well as with factors related to menopause that promote atheroma formation, lipid disorders and chronic inflammation. Thus, these results support the association between HPV infection and CAD in climacteric women, possibly via chronic inflammation, hormonal factors related to menopause and dyslipidemia.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To validate the 10-item Cervantes Scale (CS-10) among Brazilian women. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study involving women in the community aged 40-55 years in the Southern region of Brazil. They completed a general health, habits and socio-demographic questionnaire, the CS-10 and the Women's Health Questionnaire (WHQ). Women unable to understand the survey, not consenting to participate, or having incapacity imposing difficulties during the completion of the questionnaire were excluded. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted with the AMOS 16.0 software. Chi-square of degrees of freedom (χ2/df), the Comparative Fit Index (CFI), the Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) and the Root-Mean-Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) were used as indices of goodness of fit. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for internal consistency. Results: A total of 422 women were included (premenopausal n=35, perimenopausal n=172, postmenopausal n=215). The CFA for the CS-10 showed a good fit (χ²/df=1.454, CFI=0.989; TLI=0.985; RMSEA=0.033; CI 90%=0.002-0.052; PCLOSE=0.921; Model p=0.049). Good reliability was established in CS-10 and WHQ (Cronbach's alpha=0.724). Postmenopausal women had higher total CS-10 scores (p≤0.0001), reflecting worse quality of life (QoL) related to menopause symptoms and confirming the greater symptomatology evaluated by high total scores for WHQ found in this population when compared to those in the premenopausal period (p=0.041). Conclusion: The CS-10 is a consistent tool for health-related QoL in Brazilian mid-aged women.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective Menopause causes several changes in the body that may affect the response to COVID-19. We aimed to investigate the possible association between menopausal status and incidence and outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Methods Combinations of keywordsCOVID-19, menopause, and estrogen were used to search the PubMed, Embase, Web-of-Science, and Scopus databases for articles reporting the incidence and outcomes of COVID-19 (discharge, length-of-admission, intensive care, or mortality) in premenopausal women, available through December 29, 2022. Data from studies comparing the incidence of COVID-19 infection with the age-matched male population were pooled and meta-analyzed using a random-effects model. Results Overall, 1,564 studies were retrieved, of which 12 were finally included in the systematic review to compare disease outcomes, and 6 were meta-analyzed for the incidence of COVID-19 in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. All studies reported better COVID-19-associated outcomes in premenopausal women compared with postmenopausal women. After adjusting for confounding factors, three studies found better outcomes in postmenopausal women, and two found no association between menopausal status and COVID-19 outcomes. Our meta-analysis found a higher incidence of COVID-19 infection among premenopausal women than postmenopausal women, when compared with age-matched men (odds ratio = 1.270; 95% confidence interval: 1.086-1.486; p= 0.003). Conclusion The incidence of COVID-19 was significantly higher in premenopausal women than in postmenopausal women when compared with age-matched men. Although premenopausal women may have more favorable COVID-19-associated outcomes, the presumed preventive effect of estrogens on the incidence and related outcomes of COVID-19 in premenopausal women cannot be proven at present. Further longitudinal studies comparing pre- and post-menopausal women are required to provide further insight into this matter.


Resumo Objetivo A menopausa causa diversas alterações no corpo que podem afetar a resposta ao COVID-19. Nosso objetivo foi investigar a possível associação entre o status da menopausa e a incidência e os resultados em pacientes com COVID-19. Métodos Combinações de palavras-chave COVID-19, menopausa e estrogênio foram usadas para pesquisar os bancos de dados PubMed, Embase, Web-of-Science e Scopus para artigos relatando a incidência e os resultados do COVID-19 (alta, tempo de internação, tratamento intensivo cuidados ou mortalidade) em mulheres na pré-menopausa, disponível até 29 de dezembro de 2022. Dados de estudos comparando a incidência de infecção por COVID-19 com a população masculina da mesma idade foram agrupados e meta-analisados usando um modelo de efeitos aleatórios. Resultados No geral, 1.564 estudos foram recuperados, dos quais 12 foram finalmente incluídos na revisão sistemática para comparar os resultados da doença e 6 foram meta-analisados para a incidência de COVID-19 em mulheres na pré e pós-menopausa. Todos os estudos relataram melhores resultados associados ao COVID-19 em mulheres na pré-menopausa em comparação com mulheres na pós-menopausa. Após o ajuste para fatores de confusão, três estudos encontraram melhores resultados em mulheres na pós-menopausa e dois não encontraram associação entre o status da menopausa e os resultados do COVID-19. Nossa meta-análise encontrou uma maior incidência de infecção por COVID-19 entre mulheres na pré-menopausa do que mulheres na pós-menopausa, quando comparadas com homens da mesma idade (odds ratio = 1,270; intervalo de confiança de 95%: 1,086-1,486; p = 0,003). Conclusão A incidência de COVID-19 foi significativamente maior em mulheres na pré-menopausa do que em mulheres na pós-menopausa quando comparadas com homens da mesma idade. Embora as mulheres na pré-menopausa possam ter resultados mais favoráveis associados ao COVID-19, o efeito preventivo presumido dos estrogênios na incidência e nos resultados relacionados ao COVID-19 em mulheres na pré-menopausa não pode ser comprovado no momento. Mas estudos longitudinais comparando mulheres pré e pós-menopausa são necessários para fornecer mais informações sobre este assunto.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to assess whether hormone therapy (HT) increases weight in women in the menopausal transition and after menopause. Method: this article proposes an update to the systematic review published in 2005 by the Cochrane Library (Kongnyuy EJ et al 2005) with reference to studies assessing weight changes in women receiving HT from 1986 to 2005. Following PRISMA recommendations, we included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) ) from May 2005 onwards from Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane CENTRAL databases. Standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Two authors independently assessed the risk of biases in the selected studies. Results: ten RCTs were included, totaling 2,588 HT users and 764 non-users. Different regimens, dosages, and routes of administration in HT users were analyzed and compared to non-users. The results did not show statistically significant differences for most of the HT regimens evaluated. There was significant weight gain only in patients using EEC alone at dosages of 0.45 mg/day and 0.3 mg/day when compared to placebo (p 0.01); as well as in patients receiving esto-progestative combinations of 0.5 mg/day 17-beta-estradiol (E2) + 100 mg/day progesterone, with a 0.7 kg weight increase (p 0.032). On the other hand, the combinations of 1 mg/day estradiol valerate + 3 mg/day drospirenone showed a -1.0 kg reduction (p = 0.04), whereas a -0.2 kg reduction (p = 0.001) was identified in patients using 1 mg /day estradiol (E) + 0.5 mg norethisterone acetate (NETA). Tibolone therapy showed no statistically significant changes in weight. After performing a meta-analysis, the comparative results between users and non-users showed that there was a slight weight increase (+0.279 kg ; CI -1.71 to 2.27) in patients using 0.625 mg/day conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) + 2.5 mg/day medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). As for the patients receiving 2.5 mg/day Tibolone, weight gain (+0.670 kg; CI from -1.14 to 2.48) was also observed in them. However, these increases were not significant when compared to non-HT users. Conclusions: most regimens studied showed that patients using HT in the menopausal transition and after menopause did not show significant weight gain. The only combination that showed weight gain was 0.5 mg/day 17-beta-estradiol (E2) + 100 mg/day progesterone observed, while there was weight reduction in patients using 1 mg/day estradiol valerate + 3 mg/day drospirenone and 1 mg/day estradiol (E) + norethisterone acetate.


Objetivo: realizar uma revisão sistemática e meta-análise para avaliar se a terapia hormonal (TH) aumenta o peso em mulheres na transição menopausal e após a menopausa. Métodos: este artigo propõe uma atualização da revisão sistemática publicada em 2005 pela Cochrane Library (Kongnyuy EJ et al., 2005) com referência a estudos avaliando mudanças de peso em mulheres recebendo TH de 1986 a 2005. Seguindo as recomendações do PRISMA, incluímos ensaios clínicos randomizados (RCTs) de maio de 2005 em diante do Medline, Embase e dos bancos de dados Cochrane CENTRAL. Diferenças médias padronizadas (SMD) e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC) foram calculados. Dois autores avaliaram independentemente o risco de vieses nos estudos selecionados. Resultados: foram incluídos dez ECRs, totalizando 2.588 usuários de HT e 764 não usuários. Diferentes esquemas, dosagens e vias de administração em usuários de HT foram analisados e comparados a não usuários. Os resultados não mostraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas para a maioria dos esquemas de TH avaliados. Houve ganho de peso significativo apenas nos pacientes que usaram apenas EEC nas doses de 0,45 mg/dia e 0,3 mg/dia quando comparados ao placebo (p 0,01); assim como em pacientes recebendo combinações estoprogestativas de 0,5 mg/dia de 17-beta-estradiol (E2) + 100 mg/dia de progesterona, com aumento de peso de 0,7 kg (p 0,032). Por outro lado, as combinações de 1 mg/dia de valerato de estradiol + 3 mg/dia de drospirenona apresentaram redução de -1,0 kg (p = 0,04), enquanto foi identificada redução de -0,2 kg (p = 0,001) nas pacientes que usaram 1 mg /dia estradiol (E) + 0,5 mg de acetato de noretisterona (NETA). A terapia com tibolona não mostrou alterações estatisticamente significativas no peso. Após realizar uma meta-análise, os resultados comparativos entre usuárias e não usuárias mostraram que houve um leve aumento de peso (+0,279 kg ; IC -1,71 a 2,27) em pacientes em uso de 0,625 mg/dia de estrogênio equino conjugado (CEE) + 2,5 mg/dia de acetato de medroxiprogesterona (MPA). Quanto aos pacientes que receberam Tibolona 2,5 mg/dia, também foi observado ganho de peso (+0,670 kg; IC de -1,14 a 2,48). No entanto, esses aumentos não foram significativos quando comparados aos não usuários de HT. Conclusões: a maioria dos esquemas estudados mostrou que as pacientes em uso de TH na transição menopausal e após a menopausa não apresentaram ganho de peso significativo. A única combinação que apresentou ganho de peso foi 0,5 mg/dia de 17-beta-estradiol (E2) + 100 mg/dia de progesterona, enquanto houve redução de peso nas pacientes que usaram 1 mg/dia de valerato de estradiol + 3 mg/dia de drospirenona e 1 mg/dia estradiol (E) + acetato de noretisterona.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Muitas mulheres sofrem com sintomas associados à menopausa, que podem apresentar diferentes graus de intensidade e afetar sua qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência e severidade dos principais sintomas nas diferentes fases do climatério. Métodos: Foram selecionadas mulheres com idades entre 40 e 65 anos, que responderam a um questionário on-line com dados sociodemográficos, de saúde, alimentação e características menstruais e de menopausa. Para avaliar os sintomas da menopausa e sua intensidade, foi aplicado o questionário internacional validado Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Resultados: Foram incluídas 283 mulheres (36,8% na pré-menopausa, 24% na perimenopausa e 39,2% na pós-menopausa). Excesso de peso foi mais prevalente na perimenopausa do que na pré-menopausa (P=0,012). Sintomas como diminuição da libido, secura vaginal, incontinência urinária, dores musculares e articulares, alterações lipídicas e ondas de calor, calorões, foram mais prevalentes em valores absolutos nas mulheres pós-menopausa. As mulheres no período de perimenopausa apresentaram maior prevalência, em valores absolutos, de estresse, irritabilidade, dor de cabeça, problemas na pele, falta de concentração/memória, distúrbios do sono e fadiga. De acordo com o MRS, não houve diferença no domínio psicossocial (P=0,265) e os sintomas somato-vegetativos e urogenitais são mais intensos nas mulheres na perimenopausa e pós-menopausa, quando comparadas com as mulheres na pré-menopausa (P<0,001). O escore global do questionário também demonstra essa intensidade menor no grupo pré-menopausa (P=0,001). Conclusões: Este estudo demonstrou uma prevalência e severidade maior de sintomas em mulheres na perimenopausa e pós-menopausa, o que pode prejudicar a qualidade de vida dessas mulheres nessa fase da vida


Introduction: Many women experience symptoms associated with menopause that present with different degrees of intensity and affect their quality of life. Objective: To identify the prevalence and severity of the main symptoms during different climacteric phases. Methods: Women aged 40­65 years answered an online questionnaire on sociodemographic data, health, diet, menstrual, and menopausal characteristics. The internationally validated Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) questionnaire was used to assess menopausal symptoms and their intensities. Results: 283 women were included (36.8% pre-menopausal, 24% peri-menopausal, and 39.2% post-menopausal). Excess weight was more prevalent in the peri-menopausal group than in the pre-menopausal group (P=0.012). Symptoms such as decreased libido, vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, muscle and joint pain, lipid alterations, and hot flashes were more prevalent in the absolute values of post-menopausal women. Women in the peri-menopausal period had a higher prevalence, in absolute values, of stress, irritability, headache, skin problems, lack of concentration/memory, sleep disorders, and fatigue. According to the MRS, there was no difference in the psychosocial domain (P=0.265) but somato-vegetative and urogenital symptoms are more intense in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women when compared to pre-menopausal women (P<0.001). The global score on the questionnaire also demonstrated a lower intensity in the pre-menopausal group's symptoms (P=0.001). Conclusions: This study demonstrated a higher prevalence and severity of symptoms in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women, which may impair the quality of life of these women at this stage of life.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate factors associated with negative self-rated health among middle-aged women treated at a climacteric outpatient clinic. Method: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study conducted with 116 women assisted in the period between March 2015 and March 2020 at the climacteric outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Cuiabá, MT, Brazil. Data were collected through telephone interviews from October 2020 to January 2021, using a questionnaire containing questions about sociodemographic, health and psychosocial data. Self-rated health was checked by asking the subjects how they rated their health. The association measure used was the prevalence ratio and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Poisson's multiple regression was used in the multivariate analysis. Results: Most middle-aged women in this study (54.3%) had negative self-rated health. The factor associated with the outcome was menopausal symptoms (p< 0.001), identified in the severe menopausal symptoms category PR= 2.95 (95%CI 1.4-6.3). Conclusion: The higher prevalence of negative self-rated health among the women in this study is probably related to the life stage they are experiencing. Menopausal symptoms are associated with women's perception of health due to their discomfort and consequent impact on their lives.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar los factores asociados con la autopercepción de salud negativa entre mujeres de mediana edad atendidas en un ambulatorio de climaterio. Método: Estudio transversal, analítico, realizado con 116 mujeres atendidas en el período comprendido entre marzo de 2015 y marzo de 2020 en el ambulatorio de climaterio de un hospital universitario de Cuiabá-MT, Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas telefónicas, de octubre de 2020 a enero de 2021, utilizando un cuestionario que contenía preguntas sobre datos sociodemográficos, de salud y psicosociales. La salud autoevaluada se verificó preguntando cómo calificaron su salud. La medida de asociación utilizada fue la razón de prevalencia e intervalos de confianza del 95% (IC 95%). En el análisis multivariante se utilizó la regresión múltiple de Poisson. Resultados: La mayoría de las mujeres de mediana edad en este estudio (54,3%) tenían una autoevaluación de salud negativa. El factor asociado al desenlace fueron los síntomas menopáusicos (p< 0,001), identificados en la categoría síntomas menopáusicos severos PR= 2,95 (IC 95% 1,4-6,3). Conclusión: La mayor prevalencia de autoevaluación de salud negativa entre las mujeres de este estudio probablemente esté relacionada con la etapa de la vida en la que se encuentran. Los síntomas de la menopausia están asociados a la percepción de salud de la mujer por su malestar y consecuente impacto en su vida.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores associados à autoavaliação da saúde negativa de mulheres de meia-idade atendidas em um ambulatório de climatério. Metodo: Estudo transversal, analítico, desenvolvido com 116 mulheres atendidas no período entre março de 2015 e março de 2020 no ambulatório de climatério de um hospital universitário de Cuiabá-MT. Os dados foram coletados, por meio de entrevista por telefone, no período de outubro de 2020 a janeiro de 2021, utilizando-se questionário contendo perguntas sobre dados sociodemográficos, de saúde e psicossociais. A autoavaliação da saúde foi verificada perguntando como elas avaliavam sua saúde. A medida de associação utilizada foi a razão de prevalência e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC 95%). Na análise multivariada utilizou-se a regressão múltipla de Poisson. Resultados: A maioria das mulheres de meia-idade deste estudo (54,3%) apresenta autoavaliação da saúde negativa. O fator que apresentou associação ao desfecho foi sintomas da menopausa (p< 0,001), identificado na categoria de sintomas severos da menopausa RP= 2,95 (IC 95% 1,4- 6,3). Conclusão: A maior prevalência de autoavaliação da saúde negativa das mulheres deste estudo, provavelmente, tem relação com a fase da vida em que estão vivenciando. Os sintomas da menopausa têm associação com a percepção de saúde das mulheres pelos seus desconfortos e consequente impacto em suas vidas.

ABSTRACT

Menopausa é o termo indicado pela OMS para nomear o último ciclo biológico da mulher, em que há o encerramento da capacidade reprodutiva feminina. Notando que o tema da menopausa parece despertar pouco interesse nas esferas social e científica e foi conotado negativamente pela teoria psicanalítica por um período, o objetivo deste artigo é traçar algumas considerações da psicanálise, partindo de Freud e Lacan, acerca do fenômeno. Para tal, utiliza-se o conceito de luto como operador teórico para reflexão do tema e enlaçamento com a teoria, passando por falas de mulheres menopáusicas. Considera-se, neste artigo, que o real da menopausa pode encontrar um caminho de tratamento que passe pelo luto e pelo simbólico, chegando ao desejo — colocando, assim, outras contribuições psicanalíticas a respeito do tema.


Resumos Menopause is the term indicated by the WHO to name the last biological cycle of the woman, in which there is the end of the female reproductive capacity. Noting that the topic of menopause seems to arouse little interest in the social and scientific spheres and was negatively connoted by psychoanalytic theory for a period, the purpose of this article is to outline some considerations of psychoanalysis, starting from Freud and Lacan, about the phenomenon. To this end, the concept of mourning is used as a theoretical operator to reflect on the theme and link it with the theory, passing through the speeches of menopausal women. It is considered, in this article, that the real of menopause can find a way of treatment that passes through mourning and the symbolic, reaching desire - thus placing other psychoanalytic contributions on the subject.


La ménopause est le terme indiqué par l'OMS pour nommer le dernier cycle biologique des femmes, dans lequel il y a la fin de la capacité reproductive féminine. Constatant que le thème de la ménopause semble susciter peu d'intérêt dans les sphères sociales et scientifiques et qu'il a été connoté négativement par la théorie psychanalytique, cet article retrace quelques considérations psychanalytique, basées sur Freud et Lacan, sur le phénomène. Pour ce faire, on utilise le concept de deuil comme opérateur théorique pour réfléchir au thème et le relier à la théorie, à travers les discours des femmes ménopausées. Il considère que le réel de la ménopause peut trouver une voie de traitement qui passe par le deuil et le symbolique, pour atteindre le désir — plaçant ainsi d'autres apports psychanalytiques sur le sujet.

Para ello, se utiliza el concepto de duelo como operador teórico para reflexionar sobre el tema y vincularlo con la teoría, pasando por los discursos de las mujeres menopáusicas. Se considera, en este artículo, que lo real de la menopausia puede encontrar una vía de tratamiento que pasa por el duelo y lo simbólico, y alcanza el deseo, logrando así otros aportes psicoanalíticos al tema.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Pese a la alta prevalencia de disfunciones sexuales femeninas durante el climaterio y a que existen intervenciones para mejorarlas, este problema no suele ser consultado por las pacientes ni explorado por los profesionales de la salud. Si bien suponemos que existen condicionamientos culturales que actuarían como barreras para su abordaje, no conocíamos las percepciones, incomodidades y experiencias de los profesionales que atienden en el ámbito de la atención primaria a pacientes que transitan su climaterio. Objetivos. Comprender desde la perspectiva de los médicos de atención primaria los factores que contribuyen a la invisibilidad de la problemática de las disfunciones sexuales femeninas durante el climaterio en mujeres de clase media atendidas en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Diseño. Estudio exploratorio transversal con enfoque cualitativo realizado en el Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires durante2020 y 2021. Resultados. A partir del análisis de diez entrevistas semiestructuradas a médicos de atención primaria (de familia, clínicos y ginecólogos) identificamos seis ejes temáticos: 1) un modelo institucional en el que el tiempo limitado para la consulta y forma de pago capitada incentivaría a que las las disfunciones sexuales femeninas permanezcan invisibilizadas; 2) la longitudinalidad de la relación médico-paciente contribuiría como un facilitador del abordaje de problemáticas vinculadas con la esfera sexual; 3) la discordancia de género entre los profesionales y las pacientes operaría como un obstáculo para abordar aspectos de la sexualidad durante el climaterio; 4) la biografía y la formación de los profesionales de la salud influiría sobre sus habilidades para abordar la problemática de la sexualidad de sus pacientes; 5) el examen ginecológico y/o la detección de síntomas de depresión contribuyen a abrir la puerta para indagar sobre la disfunción sexual femenina; y 6) el prejuicio de que el fin de la etapa reproductiva implicaría el fin de la actividad sexual. Conclusiones. Si bien no existen recomendaciones formales para la pesquisa sistemática de disfunciones sexuales femeninas, su elevada prevalencia, su fácil diagnóstico y la existencia de herramientas terapéuticas para aliviarlas, ameritan que estén más disponibles entre nuestras hipótesis diagnósticas. (AU)


Background. Despite the high prevalence of female sexual dysfunctions during the climacteric and the existence of interventions to improve them, this problem is not usually consulted by patients or explored by health professionals. Although weassume that there are cultural conditioning factors that would act as barriers to its approach, we were unaware of the perceptions, discomforts, and experiences of the professionals who care for patients who are going through their climactericin the field of primary care. Objectives. To understand, from the perspective of primary care physicians, the factors that contribute to the invisibility of the female sexual dysfunctions problem during the climacteric in middle-class women treated in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. Design. Cross-sectional exploratory study with a qualitative approach carried out at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires during 2020 and 2021. Results. From the analysis of ten semi-structured interviews with primary care physicians (family, clinicians and gynecologists) we identified six thematic axes: 1) an institutional model in which the limited time for consultation and capitated form of payment would encourage female sexual dysfunctions to remain invisible; 2) the longitudinality of the doctor-patient relationship would contribute as a facilitator in addressing problems related to the sexual sphere; 3) the gender discrepancy between professionals and patients would operate as an obstacle to address aspects of sexuality during the climacteric; 4) the biography and training of health professionals would influence their abilities to address the problems of their patients'sexuality; 5) gynecological examination and/or the detection of symptoms of depression contribute to opening the door toinquire about FSD; 6) the prejudice that the end of the reproductive stage would imply the end of sexual activity. Conclusions. Although there are no formal recommendations for the systematic screening of female sexual dysfunctions, its high prevalence, its easy diagnosis and the existence of therapeutic tools to alleviate them, deserve that they be more available among our diagnostic hypotheses.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: to evaluate associated factors with sexual dysfunction among middle-aged women. Methods: cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out with climacteric women attended at a Family Health Strategy Unit in the city of Montes Claros, MG. Brazil. The eligible women answered a question form containing sociodemographic, behavioral, anthropometric, gynecological factors and sexuality. The Body Mass Index and waist circumference were used to assess nutritional status and metabolic risk. To evaluate quality of life and sexual performance the Menopause Rating Scale and the Sexual Quotient - Female Version were used, respectively. Bivariate analysis and hierarchical multiple regression were used to identify associated factors with sexual dysfunction in the climacteric period. Results: among 195 women, 29.6% had sexual dysfunction. The prevalence of unsatisfactory sexual performance was higher among women who reported moderate to severe climacteric symptoms (OR=2.47) and lower schooling level was also associated (OR=1.95). However, age at menarche below 12 years (OR=0.43) and non-white (OR=0.36) seem to have a protective effect for good sexual performance. Conclusion: the prevalence of sexual dysfunction was high and the level of schooling and climacteric symptomatology were associated factors with this outcome.


Resumo Objetivos: avaliar os fatores associados à disfunção sexual entre as mulheres de meia-idade. Métodos: estudo de corte transversal e analítico realizado com mulheres climatéricas atendidas em uma Unidade de Estratégia de Saúde da Família no município de Montes Claros-MG, Brasil. As mulheres elegíveis responderam a um formulário contendo questões sociodemográficas, comportamentais, antropométricas, fatores ginecológicos e sexualidade. Utilizou-se o Índice e Massa Corporal e a circunferência da cintura para avaliar o estado nutricional e risco metabólico. Para avaliar a qualidade de vida e o desempenho sexual foram utilizados a Menopause Rating Scale e o Quociente Sexual -Versão Feminina, respectivamente. Empregou-se análise bivariada e regressão múltipla hierarquizada para identificar fatores associados à disfunção sexual no climatério. Resultados: dentre 195 mulheres, 29,6% apresentaram disfunção sexual. A prevalência de desempenho sexual insatisfatório foi maior entre as mulheres que declararam sintomas climatéricos moderados a graves (OR = 2,47) e o menor grau de escolaridade (OR = 1,95). No entanto, a idade da menarca abaixo de 12 anos (OR = 0,43) e a cor de pele não branca (OR = 0,36) parecem ter efeito protetor para o bom desempenho sexual. Conclusão: a prevalência de disfunção sexual foi elevada e o nível de escolaridade e a sintomatologia climatérica foram fatores associados a esse resultado.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Comparar as habilidades auditivas centrais de mulheres no climatério, com e sem terapia de reposição hormonal. Métodos Estudo observacional, realizado com mulheres no climatério, divididas em dois grupos, segundo o uso ou não de terapia hormonal. Foram realizados os testes de Localização Sonora em cinco direções; Memória Sequencial para Sons Verbais e Não Verbais; Padrão de Duração; Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT); Masking Level Difference (MLD); Dicótico de Dígitos; Fala Com Ruído Branco, e aplicado o Questionário Avaliação Informal de Fadiga. Resultados Houve diferença tendenciosa de melhor desempenho médio no grupo com terapia hormonal, em comparação ao grupo sem terapia para o teste de Memória para Sons Não Verbais. Nos testes de Localização Sonora, Memória para Sons Verbais, RGDT e MLD, o grupo com terapia hormonal apresentou resultados quantitativamente melhores. O grupo com terapia hormonal demonstrou maior porcentagem de mulheres com alto nível de fadiga. Conclusão Mulheres no climatério, com e sem terapia hormonal, apresentam transtorno de processamento auditivo central envolvendo as habilidades auditivas de localização sonora, ordenação temporal simples e complexa, figura-fundo, resolução temporal e interação binaural. No entanto, as mulheres do grupo com terapia hormonal apresentam melhor desempenho em ordenação temporal simples.


ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the central auditory abilities of climacteric women, with and without hormone replacement therapy. Methods Observational study, performed with climacteric women with and without hormone replacement therapy. Sound localization tests were performed in five directions; Sequential Verbal Memory Test; Sequential Memory Test for Nonverbal Sounds; Duration Pattern Test; Random Gap Detection Test); Masking Level Difference; Dichotic Digit Test and Speech With White Noise Test and the questionnaire "Informal Fatigue Assessment" was applied. Results The differences pointed out revealed the biased difference that occurs due to higher average performance in the group with TH compared to the group without TH for TMSnV. In the TLS, TMSN, RGDT and MLD tests, the group with HT presented quantitatively better results. Conclusion Climacteric women, with and without hormone therapy, have central auditory processing disorder involving the auditory skills of sound localization, simple and complex temporal ordering, background figure, temporal resolution and binaural interaction. However, women in the hormone therapy group performed better in simple temporal ordering.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: o climatério, mesmo sendo uma fase natural ao envelhecimento, pode apresentar alterações em diferentes amplitudes. O enfermeiro, na condição de agente transformador, tem papel essencial na assistência prestada as mulheres no climatério. Objetivo: analisar as evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre a assistência de enfermagem à saúde das mulheres no climatério na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Método: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de artigos publicados entre janeiro de 2012 a junho de 2022. A busca foi realizada de forma pareada nas bases de dados BDENF, LILACS, PubMed Central e CINAHL. Resultados: por meio da análise dos quatro estudos selecionados foi possível perceber um déficit em relação ao conhecimento dos profissionais relativo aos cuidados às mulheres no climatério, negligência com as reais necessidades de saúde das mulheres e a persistência do modelo biomédico, uma vez que o atendimento depende da demanda e se resume na medicalização dos sintomas. Conclusão: as evidências científicas indicam que a assistência de enfermagem às mulheres no climatério na Atenção Primária à Saúde se limita na realização de exames de rastreio de cânceres e encaminhamentos. Além disso, esse estudo apontou déficit de conhecimento dos profissionais de enfermagem alertando sobre a necessidade de mais estudos nessa temática, atualização na formação dos profissionais e realização de ações de educação permanente por parte dos gestores de saúde.


Introduction: The climacteric period, even being a natural phase of aging, can present alterations in different amplitudes. The nurse, as a transforming agent, has an essential role in the assistance provided to women in the climateric period. Objective: to analyze the evidence available in the literature on nursing care to the health of women in the climateric period in Primary Health Care. Method: this is an integrative review of articles published between January 2012 and June 2022. The search was conducted in a paired manner in the BDENF, LILACS, PubMed Central and CINAHL databases. Results: through the analysis of the four selected studies it was possible to perceive a deficit in relation to the knowledge of professionals regarding the care of women in climacteric conditions, neglect of the real health needs of women and the persistence of the biomedical model, since care depends on demand and is summarized in the medicalization of symptoms. Conclusion: scientific evidence indicates that nursing care for women in the climateric period in Primary Health Care is limited to performing cancer screening tests and referrals. Moreover, this study pointed out a deficit of knowledge of nursing professionals, warning about the need for further studies on this topic, updating the training of professionals and conducting continuing education actions by health managers.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: descrever os sentimentos vivenciados pela mulher acerca da sexualidade no período do climatério. Método: O percurso metodologia deu-se por abordagem qualitativa e método de história oral conforme pressupostos de Halbwachs. Resultados: Foram entrevistadas 6 mulheres com idade acima de 45 anos e que receberam nomes fictícios de flores como forma de manter o anonimato das mesmas. Resultados: Os relatos deram origem a 3 categorias e 4 subcategorias conforme a seguir: Mudanças fisiológicas, Mudanças na sexualidade, Desejo sexual, Desempenho sexual, Prazer sexual, Vivência da sexualidade e Necessidade da sexualidade. Conclusão: As dificuldades em lidar com os sintomas do climatério sinaliza a necessidade de criar políticas públicas de saúde, onde profissionais da saúde possam disponibilizar conhecimento em forma de vivencias, materiais e divulgação do que pode ser feito para acompanhar mulheres nesse período. Os profissionais da saúde precisam estar mais atentos para atuar junto às mulheres em crise e desenvolver ações que visem à apropriação do conhecimento e do bem-estar, bem como o desenvolvimento pessoal, para que possam usar mecanismos de enfrentamento eficazes a fim de superar as modificações e os conflitos causados pelo climatério.


Objective: to describe the feelings experienced by women about sexuality in the climacteric period. Method: The methodological course took place through a qualitative approach and oral history method according to Halbwachs assumptions. Results: Six women over 45 years of age were interviewed who received fictitious names of flowers as a way of maintaining their anonymity. Discussion: The reports originated 3 categories and 4 subcategories as follows: Physiological changes, Changes in sexuality, Sexual desire, Sexual performance, Sexual pleasure, Experience of sexuality and Need for sexuality. Conclusion: Difficulties in dealing with climacteric symptoms indicate the need to create public health policies, where health professionals can provide knowledge in the form of experiences, materials and dissemination of what can be done to accompany women in this period. Health professionals need to be more attentive to work with women in crisis and develop actions aimed at appropriating knowledge and well-being, as well as personal development, so that they can use effective coping mechanisms in order to overcome the changes and the conflicts caused by the climacteric.


Objetivo: describir los sentimientos experimentados por las mujeres acerca de la sexualidad en el período climatérico. Método: El curso metodológico se llevó a cabo a través de un enfoque cualitativo y método de historia oral según los presupuestos de Halbwachs. Resultados: Se entrevistaron seis mujeres mayores de 45 años que recibieron nombres ficticios de flores como forma de mantener su anonimato. Resultados: Los relatos originaron 3 categorías y 4 subcategorías así: Alteraciones fisiológicas, Alteraciones en la sexualidad, Deseo sexual, Desempeño sexual, Placer sexual, Experiencia de la sexualidad y Necesidad de la sexualidad. Conclusión: Las dificultades en el enfrentamiento de los síntomas del climaterio indican la necesidad de crear políticas públicas de salud, donde los profesionales de la salud puedan aportar conocimientos en forma de experiencias, materiales y difusión de lo que se puede hacer para acompañar a las mujeres en este período. Los profesionales de la salud necesitan estar más atentos para trabajar con mujeres en crisis y desarrollar acciones encaminadas a la apropiación del conocimiento y del bienestar, así como del desarrollo personal, de manera que puedan utilizar mecanismos de afrontamiento efectivos para superar los cambios y los conflictos provocados por el climaterio.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare heart rate variability indices in early and late postmenopausal women and assess their correlation and prognostic value to predict late postmenopausal. METHODS: An observational and retrospective study was performed with the medical records of patients from Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo between 2018 and 2019. We selected medical records of women with menopause, over 40 years old, which were divided into two groups, according to postmenopausal time, i.e., early and late postmenopausal. RESULTS: We analyzed data from 123 women (55 in the early and 68 in the late postmenopausal group). RRtri (triangular index) was lower in the late postmenopausal group (8.68 vs. 7.15, p=0.040). There was a significant weak negative correlation in SDNN, RRtri, and SD2 and postmenopausal time. RRtri presented the potential to predict late postmenopausal. CONCLUSION: The increase in postmenopausal time decreases global heart rate variability indices. The geometric index RRtri was significantly lower in late postmenopausal women and presented the potential to predict late postmenopausal.
