Aims: Menopause can
severely effects the somatic, urogenital and psychological aspects of life, our
aim is to find out the Health Related Quality of Life in female patients with menopause
in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods: A
cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in the Gynecology
out-patient department. All female patients with menopause attending the
Gynecology OPD of tertiary care hospital for various complaints were included
in the study. After obtaining written informed consent, demographics, relevant
medical and surgical history was noted and they were then administered
validated questionnaire ‘Health related Quality of Life Questionnaire:
Menopause Rating Scale’ (HRQoL).

Results: The overall
population sample size was 409. The mean age of menopause was 48.91± 4.76
years. Hot flushes and sweating (somatic symptom) were the commonest symptom
(86.31%), followed by anxiety (psychological symptom) in 76.53%.  Maximum score was attributed to psychological
symptoms, while urogenital domain had the minimum score. The association
between the duration of menopause (early versus late post-menopause) and
severity of symptom complex was found to be significant in psychological
symptoms only.  Frequency of psychological
symptoms decreased as the duration since onset of menopause increased.
Occurrence of somatic and urogenital symptoms is not significantly associated
with duration of menopause.







Conclusion: Menopausal
symptoms commonly affect a large number of early and late post-menopausal women
and adversely affect health related quality of life. Menopausal symptoms are
common in postmenopausal women and except psychological symptoms there is
minimal difference in the frequency and severity of other symptoms with duration.
