Menopause is defined as the absence of menstrual periods for at least 12 months. It typically occurs between ages 45-55, though can happen as early as age 30. Menopause is caused by a loss of responsiveness of the ovaries to hormones like FSH and LH, causing lower estrogen and progesterone levels. Common symptoms include irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, and increased risk for osteoporosis and heart disease. Treatment options include hormone replacement therapy, antidepressants, lifestyle changes, and lubricants to relieve vaginal dryness.
Menopause is a biological stage in a woman's life that occurs when she stops menstruating and reaches the end of her natural reproductive life. This is not usually abrupt, but a gradual process during which women experience perimenopause before reaching post-menopause”
Allison Taylor, MD, with the Center for Women's Health in Wichita, KS, presented about perimenopause and hormone therapy during a Women's Connection July 9, 2013, at Corporate Caterers. The event is sponsored by Via Christi Health.

Menopause is signaled by 12 months since last menstruation.
Common symptoms include hot flashes and vaginal dryness. There may also be sleep disturbances. The combination of these symptoms can cause anxiety or depression.
Menopause is a natural process with treatments that focus on symptomatic relief. Vaginal dryness is treated with topical lubricants or estrogen. Medications can reduce the severity and frequency of hot flushes. In special circumstances, oral hormone therapy may be used.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. What is Menopause? The state of an absence of menstrual periods for at least 12 months. Starts with varying menstrual cycle lengths and ends with the final menstrual period.
3. When do women reach Menopause? Average age: 51 years old. HOWEVER, there is no way to predict when exactly an individual woman will enter menopause. Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. May occur as early as age 30.
4. Menstruation Pituitary gland in the brain secretes FSH and LH, initiating menstruation. These hormones act on the ovaries to begin the process of releasing an egg from the ovary each month. Under the action of these hormones, the ovary will produce estrogen and progesterone. These four hormones all work together to cause the growth and release of one egg each month. If pregnancy does not occur to put a stop to this process, each cycle ends with a menstrual flow.
6. What causes menopause to occur? Loss of responsiveness to LH and FSH; causing ovaries to produce less estrogen and progesterone by age 40. Production FSH and LH increase significantly in an attempt to stimulate ovaries. Changes in the cycle begin to take place anywhere from 2 to 10 years before actual menopause. Ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone; therefore, menstruation stops completely.
7. Symptoms Irregular vaginal bleeding Hot flashes & night sweats Vaginal dryness, itching, irritation and/or pain with sexual intercourse Urinary tract infection and/or urinary incontinence Fatigue, memory problems, irritability, and rapid changes in mood. Weight gain Acne Hair growth on face or abdomen
8. Health Concerns Osteoporosis Deterioration of bone and bone density. Results in an increased risk of fracture. Density begins to decline by age 40. Accelerated during menopause. Both age and the hormonal changes due to the menopause transition act together to cause osteoporosis.
9. Health Concerns Cardiovascular disease Prior to menopause, women have a decreased risk of heart disease and stroke when compared with men. Around the time of menopause, however, a women's risk of cardiovascular disease increases.
10. Reducing Symptoms and Health Risks Hormone Replacement Therapy (with Estrogen) Benefits: Relief of hot flashes Prevention of osteoporosis Risks: Endometrial cancer if not taken with progesterone Blood clots Breast cancer Gallbladder disease Possible risks: Cardiovascular disease Ovarian cancer Alzheimer’s disease Colon cancer No risk or benefit
11. Reducing Symptoms and Health Risks Venlafaxine (Effexor) Shown to relieve hot flashes. Can also be used to treat depression. Paroxetine (Paxil) Antidepressant that has been shown to work for hot flashes. Clonidine Medication used to treat high blood pressure and may help women with hot flashes.
12. Non-Hormonal Therapy Over-the-counter vaginal lubricants. Not as effective in relieving vaginal symptoms as replacing the estrogen deficiency with oral or local estrogen.
13. Non-Hormonal Therapy Lead a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise Help protect against cardiovascular disease as well as osteoporosis, and exercise also has known mental health benefits. Proper nutrition Quit smoking! Lowers risk of cardiovascular disease
14. Key points Menopause isn't an illness. It's a natural part of your life. It happens when your body stops making certain hormones. The symptoms of menopause can be distressing, but you don't have to put up with them. You can get help.
15. Key Points The main treatment for menopause is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). But if you don't want to take this, there are other treatments that might also help. There are things you can do yourself to help relieve symptoms of menopause.
