A descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was conducted in 221 women with artificial menopause by double oophorectomy, who attended the specialized department for climacteric and menopause care of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" General Teaching Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January 2009 to August 2012. The average age of patients undergoing surgery was 37.8 years and most of them were under 40 years (64.2%). Uterine fibroid as main cause of surgery (68.8%), symptoms classified as very annoying (for a significant association between the severity of climacteric syndrome and the age group under 40 years) prevailed in the case material, as well as hot flashes and night sweating (87.3%). Among the most significant psychological symptoms were depression, irritability and insomnia, and more frequent regimens were continuous estrogen and natural medicine.
