The women were evaluated using the Kupperman Menopausal Index and of the Sexual Quotient. For statistical analysis, there were used: average, standard deviation, percentages and Fisher Exact Test. The women with sexual performance standard good/excellent, mostly, reported mild symptoms in Menopausal Index, and those who had a bad pattern/unfavorable, had high percentages of moderate and severe manifestations. Symptoms of mild intensity were associated with a higher standard of sexual performance, showing that changes in this pattern have strong relationship with the intensity of symptoms.
