Abstract

Menopauza predstavlja kraj fizioloških menstrualnih krvarenja, odnosno kraj reproduktivne dobi žene. Očituje se brojnim vazomotornim smetnjama i psihičkim promjenama. U želji da ublaže simptome menopauze žene posežu za hormonskom nadomjesnom terapijom, a u zadnje vrijeme i brojnim biljnim pripravcima. Ovaj rad daje pregled biljnih vrsta za koje se smatra da bi mogle poslužiti kao alternativa estrogenima za olakšanje simptoma menopauze. Znanstvena istraživanja su pokazala da je biljna vrsta Cimicifuga racemosa jedna od najučinkovitijih biljaka za olakšanje vazomotornih simptoma menopauze, dok gospina trava poboljšava poremećaje rapoloženja vezanih za žene u perimenopauzi. Ostale biljne vrste imaju ograničene dokaze o sigurnosti i učinkovitosti primjene.

Abstract (english)

Menopause represents the end of physiological menstrual bleeding, or the end of women's reproductive age. It manifests with many vasomotor disturbances and psychological changes. In order to ease the symptoms of menopause, women resort to hormone replacement therapy, and recently, use of numerous herbal products. This paper reviews the literature on alternatives to plant estrogens for relief of menopausal symptoms. Scientific studies have shown that black cohosh
appears to be one of the most effective botanicals for relief of vasomotor symptoms, while St. John's wort can improve mood disorders related to the menopausal transition. Many other botanicals have limited evidence to demonstrate safety and efficacy for relief of symptoms related to menopause.
