If 30% of women pass through the peak of the menopause without difficulty, the majority find themselves, at that period, in a more or less difficult situation, which is not only the consequence of physiological disorders, but also of environmental changes. The emancipation of children, the anxieties sometimes caused by the age of the parents, the lack of interest which society has in the 50 years old woman, but which it very readily takes in the old woman, conjugal lassitude, the lack of comprehension of those around her, very often bring such women to the doctor, who should know not only how to palliate the oestrogen deficiency, and the organic disorders, but also show evidence of a certain psychological understanding. It would seem that the role of the physician is primordial in so far as he, or she, is able to inspire confidence and explain the treatment prescribed.
如果30%的女性顺利度过更年期高峰期，那么大多数女性在这个时期或多或少会陷入困境，这不仅是生理紊乱的结果，也是环境变化的结果。孩子的独立、有时因父母年龄而产生的焦虑、社会对50岁女性缺乏关注（却对老年女性很感兴趣）、婚姻倦怠、周围人缺乏理解，这些常常使这些女性去看医生，而医生不仅应该知道如何缓解雌激素缺乏和器质性疾病，还应该表现出一定的心理理解能力。就医生能够激发信心并解释所开的治疗方案而言，医生的角色似乎至关重要。
