This document provides an overview of existing diagnosis and treatment methods of menopausal disorders in women, proposed algorithms for diagnosis and treatment of this disease to prevent heart diseases, osteoporosis and improve the quality of ukrainian women life.

The only pathogenetically effective method for the correction of menopausal disorders is menopausal hormone therapy. For this therapy are used natural estrogen (17в-estradiol, estradiol valerate, estriol) in combination with progestins (dydrogesterone) or androgens. It is possible parenteral (injections), transdermal, vaginal and oral hormone introduction.

To correct the climacteric syndrome, urogenital disorders are used short courses of menopausal hormone therapy (for 1–5 years). For the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis menopausal hormone therapy lasts over 3 years if necessary, in combination with a biphosphonate.

Key words: consensus, Association of Gynecologists-Endocrinologists of Ukraine, climacteric, menopause, perimenopause, postmenopausal period, menopausal hormone therapy.
