SURVEY REPORT ON KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS OF PATIENTS ABOUT POST MENOPAUSE AND ITS COMPLICATIONS

Abstract

A woman’s menstrual periods have permanently stopped at the stage after menopause, which is usually caused by aging naturally. Numerous health issues, including osteoporosis, an increased risk of heart disease, vaginal and urinary issues, and metabolic changes including weight gain, can be brought on by a drop in estrogen at this time. Regular checkups, lifestyle changes, and medical treatments are necessary to address these problems and maintain overall health. The lived experiences of postmenopausal women, a subject that has gotten little attention, are illuminated by this study, which makes it noteworthy. The survey found that women are not well-informed about this important stage of life. In addition to the reported lack of education of their healthcare personnel, women may remain unnoticed and unsupported. We must ensure that all medical staff has received menopause education so that women can learn how to manage their symptoms and general health. In recent years, this has been dealt with. For example, the training provided by the British Menopause Society. Women who experience severe symptoms may need to be referred to menopause specialists. Nonetheless, the menopause shouldn’t be depicted negatively or with excessive medication. Women should hope that the years after menopause will be enjoyable and fruitful.
