Abstract
Between 2009 and 2011 we monitored the clinical and paraclinical evolution of 109 patients for 24 months. Hormonal therapy in menopause proved its efficiency, especially for the improvement of the climacteric symptoms, as the long term effects on cardiovascular diseases is still being studied. The patients treated with Climara and Riselle showed, after 2 years of treatment, a libido and a decrease of hot flushes. No matter what the type of menopause you monitor, the LDL cholesterol shows a significant decrease for the lots that are treated with hormones. The average values of HDL cholesterol significantly increased for the patients who were under hormonal treatment. The average values of glycaemia decreased for all the lots under treatment
