Abstract
The mean life expectancy of women in developed countries is approximately 80 years, and so the women live about 1/3 of their life in post-menopause. In this period essential hormonal changes occur resulting in many physiological processes related to many organ systems.
Many skin changes take place and many skin diseases appear more frequently in the menopause time (lichen sclerosus, atrophic vulvovaginitis, atrophic changes on mucosa membrane generally, hair growth disorders etc.) Hormonal changes influencing other organ systems lead to, e.g.. urogenital and vasomotor symptomatology, higher risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases.
