Abstract (English): Menopause is a physiological stage in a woman’s life characterized by the permanent cessation of menstruation and decreased ovarian function, which leads to hormonal changes responsible for vasomotor, genitourinary, psychological, cognitive, and sexual symptoms. Given the increasing life expectancy in Mexico, women spend a substantial period in the postmenopausal state, posing clinical and public health challenges for reproductive health professionals. This review provides a clinical update on the pathophysiology and symptomatology of menopause, as well as a comprehensive approach that includes therapeutic and psychosocial support strategies. Emphasis is placed on the importance of individualized assessment, patient education, and the integration of pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, with the aim of improving quality of life and wellbeing for women during this stage. The article offers practical tools and evidence-based recommendations for health professionals, promoting multidisciplinary, patientcentered care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La menopausia es una etapa fisiológica en la vida de la mujer caracterizada por el cese permanente de la menstruación y la disminución de la función ovárica, lo que conlleva una serie de cambios hormonales responsables de síntomas vasomotores, genitourinarios, psicológicos, cognitivos y sexuales. Dada la creciente esperanza de vida en México, las mujeres viven un periodo significativo en estado posmenopáusico, lo que implica retos clínicos y de salud pública para los profesionales de salud reproductiva. Esta revisión ofrece una actualización clínica de la fisiopatología y la sintomatología de la menopausia, así como un abordaje integral que incluye estrategias terapéuticas y de acompañamiento psicosocial. Enfatizamos la importancia de la evaluación individualizada, la educación de la paciente y la integración de intervenciones farmacológicas y no farmacológicas, con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de vida y el bienestar de las mujeres en esta etapa. El artículo proporciona herramientas prácticas y recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia para el profesional de la salud, además de que promueve una atención multidisciplinaria y centrada en la paciente.
