Estrogens disappear from the woman’s body when menopause arrives and, with them, protection against cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes. Consequently, the risk of cardiovascular problems increases, but also bone fractures due to the appearance of osteoporosis.

Many women only believe that the arrival of menopause is the disappearance of menstruation; the lack of information also makes them face symptoms that they are unaware of, which last over time and affect their personal lives (irritability, depression, problems with sexual relations, etc.) Dr. Carmen Pingarrón, head of the Gynecology and obstetrics of Hospital Quirónsalud San Joséexplains what the arrival of this stage means in a woman’s life and how to improve her quality of life.
