Menopause and Climateric Offered by MD María Susana Aguero
Menopause and climateric are natural stages in a woman's life, but they can bring a series of symptoms and changes that can affect her quality of life. It is important to have the guidance and support of a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics to go through these stages in a healthy way and without complications.
Description of Menopause and Climateric
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when menstruation ceases and marks the end of her reproductive capacity. Generally, it occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although it can vary in each woman. During this stage, hormone levels such as estrogen and progesterone decrease, which can trigger a series of symptoms and changes in the body.
The climateric is the transition period that precedes and follows menopause. During this stage, the ovaries gradually decrease hormone production, which can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido, among others.

The symptoms of menopause and climateric can vary in each woman, but some of the most common include hot flashes and night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, weight gain, memory and concentration problems, and increased risk of osteoporosis.
MD María Susana Aguero offers a wide range of treatments for menopause and climateric, tailored to the needs of each patient.
