“…Desse modo, o climatério e a menopausa foram abordados como períodos naturais e esperados para o processo de envelhecimento feminino, porém intimamente conectados aos aspectos culturais, às exigências e expectativas sociais, a vivên-cia da corporeidade e aos relacionamentos afetivos estabelecidos ao longo da vida, além dos mitos, tabus, crenças e conhecimentos apresentados por cada mulher (Hinchliff, & Gott, 2008;Valadares et al, 2013).…”
