Abstract

Le traitement hormonal substitutif (THS) ne connait pas de règles générales. La recommandation la plus fréquente est de tenir compte des risques individuels de la femme et d'appliquer une thérapie adéquate. Dans ce contexte, nous avons examiné les caractéristiques des femmes sous hormonthérapie substitutive habitant dans une région rurale. L'analyse est basée sur les données d'une étude de santé. Notre travail a porté sur 499 femmes âgées de 40 à 65 ans, dont 97 sous THS (19,4%). Les caractéristiques significatives de cette analyse univariée sont: Les femmes sous THS souffraient plus souvent de douleurs psychosomatiques, visitaient plus souvent le médecin, faisaient plus souvent des examens médicaux et prenaient plus souvent des vitamines substitutives que les femmes sans THS. Les résultats sont contraires aux autres études à ce sujet. Il est bien possible que les docteurs et doctoresses attribuent les douleurs psychosomatiques à la periménopause. Cela mène à une prescription d'hormones. Une vue globale concernant le traitement des femmes pendant cette période de leurs vie serait d'une grande importance. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag 1997
