Abstract：
:Menopause is a time of anatomic, physiological and psychological changes that often influence in the sexuality of aging female. Being sexual functioning an important aspect of health and well-being, doctors should have an holistic approach reassuring about the possibility of treating the various symptoms. The central nervous system is an important target for sex steroid hormone; estrogen, progestagens and androgens are able to modulate several brain functions, and receptors for gonadal steroids have been identified in several brain areas. Because there is no test that physicians can make to assess sexual function, taking a sexual history is probably the most important aspect in the diagnostic and treatment of sexual problems. Hormonal transition with decreasing levels of estrogen and testosterone produces clinical effects, so women need to make adjustments for this period of life. Testosterone is an important component of female sexuality, and alterations in its circulating levels play an important role in psychological and sexual changes that occur after menopause. This is the reason why the research in identifying women who have a decrease androgen active should be aimed. Treatment may include education about sexuality and medical management of symptoms or problems interfering with sexual activity. Also treatment implications and the diverse aspects that may influence on sexuality in the climacteric years are discussed.
