The Comprehensive Assistance Program for Women’s Health (PAISM) was a public policy implemented with the aim of incorporating services for the promotion, prevention, assistance and recovery of women’s health throughout Brazil.

Objective: To identify the importance of early diagnosis of climacteric in PHC, as well as treatment measures to minimize the symptoms of this period. Method: An integrative literature review was used, with a descriptive and exploratory approach, carried out in the following databases: SCIELO, BDENF, BRISA and LILACS. Results and Discussions: It was observed from the analysis of the literature, that during the climacteric phase, women go through many symptoms that cause discomfort to their well-being, in this way, it was evidenced that Primary Health Care has a essential role aimed at assisting these women, which involves the implementation of practices aimed at the early diagnosis and treatment of climacteric symptoms, of these, the consultations carried out by the PHC multidisciplinary team, is a starting point for women’s health care , reaching the PNAISM proposal.
