--- The Climacteric is considered an important stage in the lives of women, where many physiological changes occur. There is currently interest in evaluating the various symptoms using several instruments around the world. Therefore, application-level quantitative, descriptive, analytical prospective crosssectional of 396 patients whose ages were more than 40 years, aimed at analyzing the main changes that affects the quality of life of women during menopause, performed in consultation offices of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in the Clínica Centenario Peruano Japonesa. We included all patients of ages more than 40 years old and excluded patients with confirmed pregnancy, illiteracy and serious eyesight disorders. The method used in this study was the Menopausal Rating Scale, consisting of 11 questions sorted by somatic, psychological and urogenital areas, developed by Heinemann et al. It is defined as a severe compromise of the quality of life to a score over 16 points, 8 points for the somatic area, 6 points for the psychological domain and 3 points for the urogenital domain. The results show that 126 patients (31.8%) have a sever impairment of their quality of life, being the urogenital domain the most affected with an average score of 3.3 +/- 2.9, from a total of 154 patients (38.9%). The age and the presence of any disease affect the deterioration of the quality of life. Studies are recommended to assess the benefits of hormone replacement therapy in women during climacteric.
