Menopausia

La menopausia es un proceso fisiológico de la mujer caracterizado por el cese permanente de la menstruación que se produce tras la pérdida de la actividad ovárica. La menopausia solamente puede diagnosticarse retrospectivamente, tras 12 meses sin sangrado menstrual. Durante la transición a la menopausia, las hormonas reproductivas pueden fluctuar significativamente, lo que provoca síntomas como sofocos, trastornos del sueño y del estado de ánimo, y sequedad vaginal.

Definición y Epidemiología

Definición

La menopausia es el cese fisiológico permanente de la menstruación debido a la pérdida de la actividad ovárica, que se determina retrospectivamente tras 12 meses consecutivos de ausencia de sangrado menstrual, y niveles bajos de estrógenos.

Epidemiología

Hormonas antes, durante y después de la menopausia

Los principales cambios hormonales que se observan en la perimenopausia/menopausia son una disminución de los estrógenos y la progesterona y un aumento de la hormona foliculoestimulante (FSH, por sus siglas en inglés) y la hormona luteinizante (LH, por sus siglas en inglés).
