Experience of menopausal symptoms by women in an urban community in Ibadan, Nigeria

Abstract: Prevalence of menopausal symptoms was high among women in this study. Although any woman could face challenges associated with menopausal symptoms, those who were older, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal and who had routine or manual occupations had the highest total MRS scores. All women, especially those in these categories, should receive health information and guidance on possible lifestyle adjustments to ease the disruptions that menopausal symptoms can cause.

“…Algumas populações apresentam baixa intensidade de sintomas menopausais. Em 2007, estudo realizado no Equador relatou escore total médio do MRS de 6,4 (±3,6) 20 e na Nigéria, em 2009, o valor total médio foi de 6,4 (±5,8) 21 . Outras populações, porém, apresentam escores do MRS bem mais elevados.…”

“…No statistically significant difference was identified between the subscale score mean and the overall score mean obtained from the MSRS based on climacterium stages (P > 0.05; Table 3). However, Özgür (40) and Olaolorun and Lawoyin (41) reported that there was a statistically significant difference between the score means of subscales and the overall score mean of the MSRS based on the climacteric stages that the women were going through. Related studies indicated that menopausal complaints are suffered more commonly during premenopause and perimenopause (42)(43)(44).…”
