Summary
Climacterium is marked by hypoestrogenism and it is associated to drastic vasomotors
symptoms, genital atrophy and humor alteration. Additionally, these symptoms impair sexual
life and life quality. These effects can be counteracted by administration of estrogen
therapy. However, estrogen therapy has side effects and isoflavone has been proposed as an
estrogen substitute in reposition therapy. The aim of the randomized controlled trial is to
evaluate the effects of isoflavone in the sex life assessed by a modified McCoy's sexual
questionnaire.
