OBJETIVE: To determine the quality of life of climacteric patients. DESIGN: Prospective descriptive study, survey type. PLACE: Menopause Unit of the Specialized Maternal Perinatal Institute of Lima, in 2002. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and ten new climacteric patients were surveyed by Hiditch test. RESULTS: 52% were comprised between 45 and 54 years old; 49% are natural posmenoausea. The most common symptoms were anxiety or nervousness in 89% (98 cases), musculoskeletal pain 90% (98), depression in 83% (92) and headache in 79% (87). When applying logistic regression it was observed that the loss of quality of life in these women are mainly in the physical psychosocial areas (4.64 ± 1.52) and (4.14 ± 1.32) and does not depend on age or sociodemographic variables, but essentially to be in menopause. CONCLUSION: The questionnaire Hiditch suggests that there is a considerable deteri...

Objective. Determine the prevalence of endometrial histology in patients with postmenopausal uterine bleeding. Materials and methods. Observational, retrospective, cross. Study 40 cases had histopathological study of patients who had uterine bleeding whose ages were 50 or more years of age were included. Pathological findings were reviewed.

Postmenopausal women in the presence of abnormal uterine bleeding spontaneously and unexpectedly requires rigorous evaluation to determine the source of the bleeding. The most common cause of postmenopausal bleeding is endometrial atrophy and endometrial polyp; however, must be ruled endometrial cancer is the cause in about 10 percent of patients. The gold standard for evaluating the endometrium is transvaginal ultrasonography and endometrial biopsy, which are two key components that help reach an accurate diagnosis.

Objective: To evaluate the obstetric outcome of pregnant women with advanced maternal age (EMA) treated at the NationalMaternal Perinatal Institute. Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive and retrospective study of 321 maternaloutgoings occurred during the period from January 1 to June 30, 2016.

The evaluation of quality of life should focus mainly on the patient’s perception of her state of health, being an activeparticipant in this process. Instruments for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) can be classified into genericinstruments that measure multiple areas or domains and that are applicable to all individuals, regardless of the pathologythat affects them; And specific instruments, which are those that measure the functioning of the patient in one or severalareas and are characterized by paying particular attention to those symptoms or problems specific to a particular diseaseand those areas considered to be most affected, being only applicable to patients Specific. In daily clinical practice it is usefulto evaluate: improvement of clinical diagnosis, individualization and prioritization of treatments, improving the doctor-patientrelationship, and monitoring c...

Objective: determine if gestation in advanced maternal age is associated with a higher risk of maternal perinatal complicationsthan in adolescent gestation. Materials and methods: observational, correlational, retrospective, cross-sectional study wascarried out with a population of 6475 pregnant women and 7645 pregnant women attended at the National Maternal PerinatalInstitute who have been controlled and culminated in the institution in the period between January From 2012 to December2015.

The genitourinary syndrome of menopause clinically is evident 4 to 5 years after menopause, and objective changes arepresent in 25-50% of all postmenopausal women. The most frequent symptoms are vaginal dryness ( 75%), dyspareunia(38%), and vaginal itching, vaginal discharge and pain (15%); and the diagnosis is based on clinical criteria. The principlestherapeutic are based on the restoration of urogenital physiology and relief of symptoms; including non-hormonal / lubricanttherapeutic options, systemic hormonal therapy, local estrogen therapy and other alternatives. The genitourinary syndromeof menopause is one of the most important determinants of sexual function and urogenital health, with a significant impact onthe quality of life related to female health.

Fetal growth restriction (RCF) is a clinical circumstance in which the fetus does not express its genetic potential for growth and as a final result a decrease in body weight occurs, which is below the 10th percentile for gestational age, in a selected growth curve. Among the etiological factors include: maternal, fetal and placental causes. It is classified as Precocious and late. The appropriate time for delivery is determined by gestational age and fetal condition.

The Peruvian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology has contributed and will continue participating in the development of gynecology in Peru, including the subspecialty of climacteric and menopause, through the publication of scientific articles in The Peruvian Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Various topics related to gynecological cancer, quality of life, cardiovascular health, sexuality, clinical aspects, osteoporosis and hormonal therapy in the climacteric and menopausal woman have been issued.

Introduction: Anemia is one of the main public health concerns in underdeveloped and developed countries; affects a quarter of the world's population, with considerable morbidity and mortality, especially in pregnant women (1)

Strategies in climacteric management have changed in recent years as a result of recent research results in this area, since not only hormonal and non-hormonal therapy are used; Rather, changes in lifestyle, including diet and exercise, can help reduce the symptoms of menopause; other therapeutic measures must be used individually according to the needs of each patient (1). The clinic during the climacteric is variable; However, vasomotor symptoms (SVM) and genitourinary menopause syndrome (GMS) are cardinal symptoms of menopause (1). The topics covered in this symposium deal with aspects of management of climacteric symptomatology, monitoring and therapeutic alternatives. Once the need to initiate menopausal hormone therapy has been determined, in the absence of contraindications, the most appropriate treatment must be determined.
