As discussões sobre o climatério são devidas a:
• Uma falta de cultura que impede uma crítica correcta dos resultados publicados
• Uma má prática da Medicina que ignora a mulher na sua totalidade
• “Lobbies” politicos do NIH …• Uma falta de honestidade científica
manifestada por muitos dos relatores do WHI• “Lobbies” de várias indústrias farmacêuticas
através da actividade de muitos médicos bem conhecidos que se oferecem… para transmitir as suas mensagens…

Acreditamos que no que se refere às DCV’s,quer os estudos experimentais em primatas como a evidência clínica sugerem fortemente que os TH’s podem ser preventivos se iniciados muito precocemente após a menopausa,de preferência depois de um regime de contraceptivos orais durante a premenopausa

O grupo de “estrogénios isolados” do WHI sugere fortemente que uma medicação apenas com estrogénios é destituida de riscos como parece até ser protectora em relação ao cancro da mama.
Resultados idênticos foram verificados em estudos de gravidez após cancro da mama e em TH’s nas sobreviventes de cancro da mama.

Em estudos recentes não se verificou,nos tratamentos combinados contínuos qualquer risco aumentado de DCV’s ou de cancro da mama.
Esta diferença em relação ao WHI deve-se a que as mulheres eram mais novas,sintomáticas,e com menor pêso corporal

Acentuamos a necessidade de implementar medidas colaterais muito
importantes tais como:
• normalização do peso corporal• abstenção de tabaco• baixo consumo de alcool• execício• Dieta Mediterrânica

Em conclusão, e à luz da evidência actual,
deve dar-se aos médicos e às mulheres a garantia de que os TH’s para o alívio dos sintomas da menopausa são seguros e muito eficazes

Long-term effect of hormone therapy on the
prevention of heart disease and
hip fractures and on monitoring possible increases in risk for breast cancer and
colon cancer.

Why Was the Study Stopped?
• Small increase in the risk of strokes, which put healthy women at risk and made it unacceptable to continue with the study.
• No increased risk for breast cancer and a decrease in the risk of hip fractures.

Portanto…
o grupo WHI/NIH teria sido forçado a declarar que:
• Os estrogénios não induzem o cancro da mama , e que
• Os estrogénios protegem a mama contra o cancro !

Porque é que os investigadores não quiseram que o estudo fosse terminado e pudesse chegar a conclusões tão importantes?
Seria pela necessidade de alguns investigadores continuarem a receber milhões de dólares?

ensaios clinicos?1ª.lição
Os progestagénios administrados por via sistémica podem em parte suprimir alguns dos efeitos benéficos dos estrogénios e podem tambem aumentar ligeiramente o risco de cancro da mama após tratamentos com uma duração superior a cinco anos

Evidence informed practice
• It is clearly time to change “evidence based medicine” to “evidence informed practice”.
• I suggest the era of evidence informed rather than evidence based medicine has arrived

“Each time we learn something new, the astonishment comes from the recognition that we were wrong before.
In truth, whenever we discover a new fact, it involves the elimination of old ones.
WE ARE ALWAYS, as it turns out, fundamentally IN ERROR.”

Qual é o melhor tratamento ?
• Em termos gerais é o que estiver sensatamente indicado, se não contraindicado, após uma análise de benefícios e riscos, de todas as estratégias e intervenções, hormonais ou não hormonais
• Deve estar dirigido a objectivos e alvos específicos que serão avaliados regularmente de modo a determinar a sua eficácia e a verificar a eventual ocorrência de quaisquer efeitos secundários, uma condição que determinará a sua duração

Qual é o melhor tratamento ?• As necessidades e preferências da mulher são
decisivas baseadas no conselho do médico• Não deve esquecer-se que apesar de haver
muitos tratamentos disponíveis não são no entanto indispensáveis
• Os médicos têm o dever de dar a sua melhor informação independente às suas doentes de modo a que elas possam fazer as escolhas acertadas e assim aderir aos tratamentos
• A mulher é quem toma a decisão se o médico não vir contraindicações
• Portanto o melhor tratamento é aquele que a mulher escolher

HT appears to be the best form of pharmacologic treatment
to improve brain function, as well as to reduce the risk of colon cancer. It is
probably the best preventive strategy for osteoporosis. With this in mind … limiting HT to the treatment of
climacteric symptoms only is unjustified.

Evitar que uma mulherbeneficie deum bom tratamento hormonal pós menopáusico
só pelo receio de efeitos secundários raros
não parece ser uma Medicina satisfatória …

Por isso …Vários ilustres colegas , “especialistas” em menopausa:
H . Schneider (Alemanha) A . Genazzani (Itália) P . Kenemans (Holanda) e tambem eu próprio,
