Abstract
Sexuality
occupies an important part of life in all human beings. Women are sexed beings
from birth and have the right to enjoy sexuality. For them, the climacteric
stage does not imply the death of sexuality despite some criteria that consider
that at this stage they do not have adequate physiological capacity to have
sexual behaviors. Our work aims to describe the main elements of education that
the Basic Health Team (Doctor and Nurse) must carry out in relation to
sexuality in climacteric women and where it is proposed that erroneous beliefs
in relation to sexuality at this stage their origin is the lack of information.
Doctors occupy a privileged position in our society to offer an excellent
health education, where the normal changes of sexuality in the climacteric are
understood and advice is provided that serves as a support whenever necessary
to the woman.
