The climacteric is a stage in a woman's life that lasts 10 to 14 years; in it occurs the transition from reproductive to non-reproductive capacity. It is characterized by gradual and progressive loss of ovarian activity with the consequent decrease in estrogen, which leads to clinical manifestations called "climacteric syndrome".
