Resumen
Objetivo: Exponer los principales efectos de la terapia hormonal sustitutiva en diferentes sistemas del organismo femenino posmenopáusico. Métodos: Revisión integradora de la literatura mediante investigación bibliográfica de abordaje cualitativo y carácter descriptivo utilizando las bases de datos National Library of Medicine (PubMed) y Bivlioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS). "Hormone Replacement Therapy" y "Menopause" fueron los descriptores utilizados, en lengua inglesa, que se encuentran en los Descritores de Ciencias de la Salud.Resultados: Todos los artículos revisados evaluaron los beneficios y perjuicios de la prescripción de la terapia hormonal sustitutiva en mujeres posmenopáusicas, produciendo un estudio de las posibles mejoras o resultados negativos de la medicación en diversos escenarios clínicos. Consideraciones Finales: El estudio propuesto consideró que la terapia de reemplazo hormonal presenta riesgos y beneficios que deben ser evaluados antes de prescribir cualquier tipo de hormona. Las mujeres que ya tienen síntomas severos y moderados, principalmente xerostomía, síntomas vulvovaginales y vasomotores, pueden necesitar usar la terapia para mejorar su calidad de vida, debido a la eficacia comprobada. Para ello, se debe individualizar y realizar consultas periódicas para evaluar la mejoría de las quejas y nuevas conductas, si es posible suspender la medicación.
