Percepción del climaterio prematuro en una mujer de 41 años: estudio de caso.

Abstract

The premature climacteric is a process characterized by the presence of vasomotor, psychological and alteration symptoms in the affective-sexual component; to be considered premature, these must appear before 45 years (Peña Guerra, 2016). In the light of the foregoing, this research is being conducted, the main objective of which is to analyze the perceptions of a 41-year-old woman about the premature climacteric, by means of a case study that establishes the influence of these on her self-esteem, emotional development and sexuality. This is carried out through a mixed methodology with qualitative predominance, in which three instruments were used which, are an in-depth interview, self-registration and the specific questionnaire of quality of life in the menopause of Hilditch (MENQOL), which were applied to a single participant from a case study-based methodology. After the application of these instruments, it was obtained as a result that the perceptions that this evidence about the premature climacteric do not significantly affect aspects such as, selfesteem, emotional development, and sexuality. Considering the above, it can be concluded that the perceptions that the participant has regarding the premature onset of the climacteric are mostly inclined to the absence of a negative affectation.
