“…According to the studies by Ramakuela [ 13 ], Araya [ 12 ], Yazdkhasti [ 32 ], and Ilankoon most women believe that menopause is the onset of aging, also in a study by Yazdkhasti [ 32 ], a postmenopausal woman described herself as a “dry yellow leaf” which are somehow similar to the findings of our study. Overall, the aging process in any culture and society may be different and have its own meanings and concepts [ 13 ].…”

During menopause, women experience major changes, including the onset of aging as a natural and inevitable event. The present study aimed to explore and explain the process of aging perception during menopausal transition. This study was a qualitative grounded theory research, which was going to be implemented in 2019–2020 on 18 Baluch women settled in the Sistan & Baluchestan province in South-East Iran and among midlife or older menopause experienced women. Sampling was started first by Purposive sampling, and then it was performed with theoretic sampling. Data analysis was performed according to Corbin and Straus’s approach (2015) in four phases: (1) identifying and developing concepts; (2) analyzing data for the context; (3) entering the process stage into analysis; and (4) integrating categories to build a theory. In this study, seven main categories were obtained: “Sunset of youth”, “aging as the other side of the coin of menopause”, “Weaving a cocoon”, “aging as a mental trap”, “social acceptance”, “aging domino”, and “feeling of transcendence”. It seems that menopause plays an important role in Baluch women’s view toward aging. The practical results of this study can be applied to better understand the middle-aged and older Baluch women’s attitudes toward aging. Also study shows a new evolutionary and situational perspective on the lives of middle-aged menopausal Baluch women. Baluch women in menopause accept the sunset of youth and look forward to experiencing the Feeling of transcendence. Identify and respond to their needs by developing and establishing health policies to change their negative attitudes.

“…Tomando a atenção às mulheres climatéricas, por exemplo, os papéis sociais de gênero em uma sociedade patriarcal que valoriza a juventude, a beleza e a fertilidade, resultam em práticas profissionais reducionistas, biológico-centradas e, sobretudo, em uma percepção negativa e angustiante desse período, tanto dos profissionais como das mulheres que o vivem 10,[13][14][15][16][17] .…”

Com o objetivo de discutir a perspectiva de profissionais de saúde sobre o cuidado às mulheres no climatério na Atenção Primária (AP), foi realizada pesquisa-intervenção por meio de oficinas com uma equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família (Nasf) de uma cidade paulista. Os trabalhadores reconheceram a ausência de ações ofertadas às mulheres climatéricas e a invisibilidade das demandas, ao relacionarem as queixas à Saúde Mental e relatarem estratégias de encaminhamento e medicalização do cuidado. Nos encontros, as equipes iniciaram as reflexões sobre as práticas e sugeriram a inclusão dessas mulheres em ações que já ocorrem nos serviços/territórios. Os depoimentos apontam para a inexistência de ações efetivas para as mulheres climatéricas, distanciando-se do cuidado integral na saúde da mulher e da construção coletiva de estratégias de cuidado nos contextos singulares de vida, território e gênero.

“…As an important milestone in a woman's life, menopause is a normal physiological process characterized by permanent cessation of menstruation and termination of fertility in women as a result of decreased estrogen and progesterone secretions in ovarian gonadotropins 1,2 . Although the menopausal period starts differently among women, the average age of menopause is 45–55 years world over and 47 years in Turkey 3 .…”
