Abstract
Abstract The aim of the present article was to analyze the effects of Tribulus terrestris L. on the symptomatic relief of menopause. We searched the databases Scielo, Pubmed, Science Direct and Springer Link in the year 2018, selecting 6 studies that approached the proposed theme. Fatima et al. observed that Tribulus was better than placebo to reduce somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms and Sóstenes et al. in your 4 studies reported that women who used Tribulus had significant improvement in symptoms such as vaginal lubrication, sensation in the genitals during intercourse and others. Sousa et al. found a significant increase in free and bioavailable testosterone after the use of Tribulus. Tribulus terrestris is a plant with great potential in the treatment of sexual dysfunction and other symptoms of menopause. Keywords: "Tribulus terrestris"; "Menopause"; "Sexual Dysfunction"

Summary
In studies have found a significant increase in free and bioavailable testosterone after the use of the plant, which has great potential in the treatment of sexual dysfunction and other symptoms of menopause. Com exceção da progesterona natural que pode ser utilizada por via vaginal, os outros progestágenos são utilizados por via oral, geralmente em ciclos de 14 dias a cada 2 ou 3 meses[8,9]. Um estudo feito[13] com 3 doses diferentes de Tribulus terrestris, por 28 dias em ratos Wistar, teve como resultados a não alteração de níveis séricos de testosterona nos machos e nenhuma estimulação do epitélio uterino e vaginal das fêmeas. A possível ação estrogênica de Tribulus terrestris seria a explicação para o alívio de outros sintomas da menopausa, como as ondas de calor, depressão e desconforto cardíaco, indo assim além da disfunção sexual (DS)[16]. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar através de uma revisão sistemática a capacidade de Tribulus terrestris em promover o aumento dos níveis hormonais como mecanismo para alívio dos sintomas da menopausa
