abstract: As pointed out in the previous article in Revista Rol Enfermeria 2006; 29(1), a deficit in ovarian hormones can cause alterations which do not appear in all women in the same way or degree of intensity.

An ovarian breakdown causes a series of short-, middle- and long-term alterations which shall be described in the following article.
