ABSTRACT
Climacteric complaints? I must confess that I had never dealt with this phenomenon when I was younger. I thought that this was a subject for hysterical women who had no meaningful and satisfying work to do, who felt sorry for themselves, were unstable, who used their time to reflect about themselves and proclaim their suffering to everybody. I was sure that I would never suffer from climacteric complaints because I am working, I have a large family to care for, I care for a garden that gives me much pleasure, I engage in social matters, I have many good friends and pets to look after.
