Menopause is not a disease yet it causes symptoms that affect 25% of women’s quality of life and require treatment. The highest scientific evidence involving complementary and alternative treatments used to reduce these symptoms. The study found that hormone replacement therapy and complementary and alternative treatments (yoga, acupuncture, massage, herbal medicine and vitamins) led to a decrease in vasomotor and urogenital symptoms, sleep problems, mental problems and an increase in women’s quality of life. Therefore, determining the effectiveness of medical and alternative treatments with studies that have the highest level of evidence can contribute to the literature. This may prove beneficial for reducing the menopausal symptoms that women experience and improve their quality of life.

MENOPOZDA SEMPTOM YÖNETİMİNDE KULLANILAN KANITA DAYALI UYGULAMALAR

Öz

Menopoz
bir hastalık değildir ancak kadınların yaklaşık %25’inin yaşam kalitesini bozan
ve tedavi gerektiren semptomlara neden olmaktadır. Bu semptomları azaltmak için
birçok tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedaviler uygulanmaktadır. Bu derlemede sık
görülen menopozal semptomların giderilmesinde uygulanan yöntemler kanıt
düzeylerine göre değerlendirilmiştir. Hormon replasman tedavisi ve
tamamlayıcı-alternatif tedavilerin (egzersiz, yoga, akupunktur, masaj, bitkisel
tedaviler ve vitaminler) vazomotor ve ürogenital semptomlarda azalma, uyku
problemlerinde, psikolojik sorunlarda azalma ve kadınların yaşam kalitesinde
artış sağladığı saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle tıbbi ve alternatif tedavilerin
literatüre katkıda bulunacak kanıt düzeyi yüksek çalışmalarla etkinliğinin
belirlenmesi, kadınların menopozda yaşadıkları semptomların iyileştirilmesinde
ve yaşam kalitesinin geliştirilmesinde yararlı olabilir.
