ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of psychosocial factors, behavior and hormones on postmenopausal sexuality. METHODS: Nine hundred and ninety-nine women (age range 41-60 years) underwent physical and supplementary tests and answered questionnaires regarding sexual behavior. Sixty healthy women with 1 or more years of amenorrhea, without hormone replacement therapy and with a partner capable of intercourse were chosen from this group. Logistic regression models with dependent variables (sexual satisfaction and orgasmic capacity) and independent variables (sexual initiation, psychosocial factors, behavior, relationship, menopause and hormones) were developed. RESULTS: Important variables for sexual satisfaction were: good self-esteem (p< 0.01), first orgasm obtained by masturbation (p = 0.004), major personal income (p = 0.007), sexual initiation in adulthood (p = 0.008), value physical contact with partner (p = 0.021) and major orgasmic capacity p = 0.040). The following contributed (towards orgasmic capacity with the partner: sexual initiation in adulthood (p = 0.012), regular physical activity (p = 0.040) and higher testosterone levels (p = 0.050). CONCLUSIONS: The importance of relationship, psychological, hormonal, economic and behavioral factors confirm the complexity of sexuality, and we note that current as well as prior events seem to affect the sexual satisfaction and orgasmic capacity of healthy postmenopausal women.

ABSTRACT

No periodo de junho de 1983 a setembro de 1989, foram estudadas 1319 mulheres climatericas (fase pos-menopausica) cujas idades variaram de 41 a 62 anos (media 51,3 anos), com o objetivo de avaliar, retrospectivamente, os principais parametros concernentes ao climaterio. Os seguintes resultados foram obtidos: a media etaria da menopausa foi 47,8 anos e a duracao media da menacme foi 34,3 anos; nao houve correlacao entre idade da menarca e a idade da menopausa; os sintomas vasomotores presentes em 74,6 por cento prevaleceram sobre todos os sintomas climatericos: queda de cabelo em 13,5 por cento; dor nas mamas 12,0 por cento; cefaleia 10,1 por cento; nervosismo 9,1 por cento; palpitacao 8,7 por cento, e outros. Entre as doencas associadas 28,4 por cento apresentavam hipertensao arterial; 14,1 por cento incontinencia urinaria; 13,8 por cento mioma uterino; 11,1 por cento doencas cardiovasculares; 5,4 por cento doencas osteoarticulares e 4,6 por cento diabetes mellitus. Concluem os autores que houve diferenca significativa quanto a sintomatologia entre as pacientes de peso normal e as obesas, quando comparadas com as pacientes magras, sendo a sintomatologia menos intensa nas pacientes de baixo peso; e, houve diferenca estatistica significativa quanto a sintomatologia entre as pacientes normotensas e hipertensas, pois os sintomas foram mais intensos nas hipertensas.
