Abstract

This work brings reflection, through multidisciplinary knowledge, on urinary incontinence due to menopause. It conceptualizes, at the discretion of information, the different phases that make up the period of completion of menstruation, experienced by the female public, more specifically the climacteric, pre-menopause, menopause and post-menopause.
The purpose of the discussion is to find alternatives for communication and interaction with women undergoing menopause and to work on all the possible symptoms found in this phase of life, so that she realizes the importance and need to seek medical help, information inherent to the subject, for a better quality of life, health and safety in their physical and mental transformations.
It also reflects on the reality of women, the effects and impacts of menopause on her life and urinary incontinence as an effect of this transition. How they face this condition on a daily basis and the insecurity they carry when experiencing this moment of transformation and related 'losses'.
Therefore, professionals discuss the importance of communication and dissemination of information as ways to help this public understand everything related to the condition of urinary incontinence, especially in menopause.
The themes also discuss the support network and the role of each one in the women's perception of what they should do, how to do it and why to do preventive or remedial treatments.
It is a natural cycle of women's experience, but the symptoms and effects cannot be naturalized, hence the need to understand the panorama of urinary incontinence, at the level of Brazil, in the lives of women undergoing menopause.
