Guidelines to improve lifestyle, how to face the moment, possible treatments... are some of the issues that are addressed these days where menopause is the protagonist.

The beginning of menopause marks the end of activity in the ovaries due to the lack of eggs, and the disappearance of menstruation for at least 12 months.

At that moment is when the stage known as climacteric begins.

It usually occurs around the age of 50, so, given the life expectancy of women in our country, more than 90% will go through this process.

It is then that estrogen levels begin to decrease and symptoms such as anguish, anxiety or sleep disorders may appear, so it is important that women suffering from menopausal symptoms have information about these physical changes that will affect to your life and you can manage them, or even prevent them.

The menopause taboo

Currently, menopause is a stage that all women know, but there is still a certain secrecy and taboo when talking about it.

Many women think that it is a natural process that does not require special attention and that they simply have to pass it off as 'something natural', because the lack of estrogen that the female body suffers during this period does not have serious consequences1.

This means that a high percentage of women do not go to their doctors, ignoring and denying this stage that will accompany an important part of their life and that can lead to consequences such as hot flashes, low mood, tiredness, fatigue, irritability, increased weight, skin changes, and sleep disturbances.

According to the Spanish Association for the Study of Menopause (AEEM), around 20% of these women need treatment

.

For this association, it is due to an 'unjustified hormoneophobia' widespread among the Spanish population.

This 1% makes Spain the European country with the smallest hormone therapy market.

"One of the main barriers that hinder access to hormone therapy is the deep rejection and suspicion that exists towards the consumption of hormones, since there is a very bad perception on the part of patients", commented the president of the Spanish Association for the Study of Menopause, Rafael Sánchez Borrego.

Although it is true that this year, the AEEM, together with the approval of 21 medical societies, has launched a unique consensus in Europe, which serves as a guide for health professionals when recommending and prescribing hormone replacement therapy treatments , in a clear commitment to break down barriers when suffering symptoms during menopause.

Many women in Spain suffer discomfort during this stage, which makes their day to day conditional.

That is why there are currently various treatment options, on which you can decide freely and with the recommendation of your specialist doctor, the most appropriate for your symptoms.
