ABSTRACT

Fibromyalgia constitutes today, in the western world, an important problem of health that affects fundamentally in women from 45 years. The studies on the influence of the hormones on the symptomatology of the patients with fibromyalgia have not managed to establish a link of causal union between the hormonal climacteric decline and the development of the painful syndrome. Nevertheless, there are studies that relate the pain, the anxiety and the depression to the level of sexual steroids. It is our aim to check these associations. We will have to expect to the development of the intracrinology and, possibly, to know more the relationship between sexual steroids and neurotransmitters to be able to know the exact relation between fibromyalgia and menopause.
