The Spanish Association for the Study of Menopause (AEEM) defines menopause as a condition reached when more than 12 months have passed since the last menstrual period<\/strong>. This cessation of ovarian activity does not occur suddenly, so we can distinguish three main stages in a woman’s adult life:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The reproductive stage<\/li>\n
  2. The transition to menopause<\/li>\n
  3. The menopausal stage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The cessation of ovarian activity is progressive and has clinical implications \u2014 what we call climacteric syndrome \u2014 as well as significant changes in laboratory parameters. Some of the signs that may indicate that we are entering this stage include atrophy or reduced hydration and elasticity in the vulvovaginal area, as well as changes in the architecture of the vulva.<\/p>\n

    Until relatively recently, it was believed that women simply had to accept the symptoms of menopause. Today, we know not only that menopause should not be viewed negatively, but also that there are many treatments available to alleviate its symptoms and support women’s well-being during this stage of life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\"Solicita<\/picture><\/a>\n

    Main symptoms of menopause<\/h2>\n

    The symptoms of menopause are varied and affect each woman differently. Some of the most common include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Vaginal dryness<\/li>\n
    2. Hot flushes<\/li>\n
    3. Sleep problems<\/li>\n
    4. Discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse<\/li>\n
    5. Postcoital bleeding<\/li>\n
    6. Reduced sexual desire<\/li>\n
    7. Irritation, burning or itching in the vulvovaginal area<\/li>\n
    8. Urinary problems, dysuria, or stress or urge urinary incontinence.<\/li>\n
    9. Emotional instability, anxiety or sadness<\/li>\n
    10. Difficulty concentrating and memory problems<\/li>\n
    11. Musculoskeletal discomfort or problems<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Types of treatments for menopause<\/h2>\n

      First of all, it is important to emphasise the importance of adopting lifestyle changes aimed at modifying risk factors and helping women navigate menopause more comfortably<\/strong>. Examples include avoiding obesity, improving metabolic parameters, following an anti-inflammatory diet, getting sufficient rest and restorative sleep, increasing physical activity and avoiding smoking.<\/p>\n

      At a local level, to support vulvar and vaginal health, regular hydration of the vulvovaginal area is recommended, as well as avoiding exposure to toxins and endocrine disruptors in the area and maintaining regular sexual activity<\/strong>, whether through intercourse, masturbation, the use of vibrators, etc. This can help promote elasticity, lubrication and vascularisation of the genitourinary area.<\/p>\n

      Hormonal treatments<\/h3>\n

      Hormonal pharmacological treatments can be a valuable option for treating the signs and symptoms of menopause. If there is a hormonal deficiency, restoring hormone levels may be an effective strategy for improving symptoms in menopausal women<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      There is a wide variety of treatments within this category, depending on the characteristics of each patient.<\/p>\n

      It is important to have a detailed medical history, as well as regular laboratory and clinical monitoring of these patients.<\/p>\n

      The main hormonal treatments include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Bioidentical hormones<\/strong>, which we will discuss in greater detail below.<\/li>\n
      2. Local oestrogen or testosterone, which may be administered in the form of creams, vaginal suppositories, vaginal tablets, etc.<\/li>\n
      3. Selective oestrogen receptor modulators are also available. These can have positive effects on vaginal and bone health without increasing breast or endometrial risk.<\/li>\n
      4. We must also always take into account the patient’s exposure to toxins, how hormones are detoxified by the liver and, finally, how these substances are eliminated through the kidneys and intestines. For this reason, the intestinal, vaginal and endometrial microbiota are fundamental.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Medical-aesthetic treatments<\/h3>\n

        We also offer regenerative medicine treatments and medical technologies that address the negative effects of menopause effectively and non-invasively. The aim is to achieve a synergistic effect.<\/p>\n

        Some of the most commonly used treatments include injections of platelet growth factors, hyaluronic acid or exosomes into the genital area<\/strong>, which can provide hydration, firmness and elasticity to the skin and mucous membranes.<\/p>\n

        Laser technology also has different applications for treating problems associated with menopause, such as vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence, creating this synergistic effect without significant side effects.<\/p>\n

        These types of treatments can be used in oncology patients, offering significant benefits without contraindications.<\/p>\n

        Natural treatments<\/h3>\n

        There are different products with natural ingredients that can help alleviate the symptoms of menopause<\/strong>, supporting the well-being and quality of life of women going through this stage.<\/p>\n

        Good cellular nutrition is essential. This is primarily achieved through an adequate intake of:<\/p>\n

        – Omega-3
        \n– Vitamin D
        \n– Resveratrol
        \n– Centella asiatica
        \n– Magnesium
        \n– B vitamins<\/p>\n

        These and other ingredients can be found in natural supplements such as those developed by Madequa<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, which has created specific packs for each stage of menopause<\/strong><\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n

        1. Premenopause
        \n2. Perimenopause
        \n3. Postmenopause<\/p>\n

        Each of these packs has been designed to address both the individual symptoms of each stage<\/strong><\/span> and more general symptoms. Madequa’s concept is based on a holistic approach, as it not only addresses the specific effects of menopause but also aims to improve women’s overall well-being.<\/p>\n
