“…The main lifestyle information was as follows: (1) the intake of a high-salt diet were defined as a diet with high salt intake; (2) the intake of milk/fruit/fish/coffee/eggs was defined as “<3 times/week” or “≥3 times/week”. To evaluate perimenopausal syndrome, we used the modified Kupperman index (mKMI); this index is widely used internationally, including in the People’s Republic of China, and its role in clinical practice is well established [ 11 , 12 ]. The scale comprises 13 items: the weighted score for hot flashes or sweating is 4 points; paraesthesia, insomnia, mood swings, sexual problems, and urinary infection receive 2 points each; and other symptoms receive 1 point each [ 13 ].…”

Background More than 2 billion women are experiencing the menopausal transition in China, and some of these women have hypertension. Limited studies has focused on perimenopausal syndrome and hypertension in a specific population, so we aimed to investigate the prevalence of perimenopausal syndrome and hypertension and to analyse their relationships and risk factors in perimenopausal women in South China. Methods This cross-sectional study included 3553 women aged 40 to 60 years from South China. We collected medical report, lifestyle, blood sample, general condition questionnaire, and modified Kupperman index (mKMI) data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for perimenopausal syndrome and hypertension during perimenopause. Results The prevalence of hypertension in perimenopause patients was 16.58%, and the prevalence of perimenopausal syndrome was 9.9%. Compared with women without hypertension during perimenopause, women with HTN during perimenopause had an increased risk of perimenopausal syndrome (26.4% vs. 8.7%, P < 0.001). Lipid levels and urinary tract infections were risk factors for hypertension and perimenopausal syndrome, in addition to the presence of breast nodules, the intake of snacks at night, high-salt diets, red meat and sugar-sweetened beverages, and a history of smoking and drinking for perimenopausal syndrome and the presence of gestational hypertension and diabetes for hypertension. Conclusion We concluded that perimenopausal syndrome and HTN are common in perimenopausal women in South China, and the associations between them are strong and positive. Perimenopausal syndrome shares some common risk factors with HTN during perimenopause, such as BMI and dyslipidaemia. Therefore, gynaecological endocrinologists in China should consider screening for perimenopausal syndrome in hypertensive perimenopausal women, and appropriate management of perimenopause is needed to alleviate these conditions.

The most common clinical manifestations are vasomotor symptoms 75%, psychological symptoms 10%, hot flashes and insomnia. Currently, hormonal therapies have been developed for its management, as well as medicine and complementary alternatives that help improve the quality of life of patients in a large percentage. Goal: To determine the different types of multidisciplinary approach to the menopausal patient, through review of articles, which will contribute to scientific knowledge regarding the reality of this topic to improve the quality of life of patients. Materials and methods:Descriptive study through a systematic bibliographic review obtained in different scientific databases of evidence-based medicine in various digital repositories with high impact on health such as (Pub-Med, Scielo, Medisur, gynecology and obstetrics literature) of the latest 5 years. Conclusion:Strategies and complementary medicine in the management of menopausal women such as: cognitive-behavioral therapy, physical exercises, meditation, herbal medicine, hormonal therapy relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in patients in more than 80% of cases.

“…Studies show that one-third of women with endometriosis suffer from psychological problems and need therapeutic inter-ventions [7]. Depression is more common in women than men, and if women have chronic pain, the risk of depression will be higher [8,9]. A study showed that women with chronic pelvic pain were 1.5 times more depressed than women in the control group [10].…”

Aim The present study aims to assess the anxiety in endometriosis women. Background Endometriosis is a disease with chronic pain due to the presence of endometrial-like tissue in other organs of the body. Pain and infertility can reduce the quality of mental health in women’s underlying endometriosis. Objectives The present study wants to assess anxiety in endometriosis women and compare it with healthy women in Arak City in 2023. Methods The current research was conducted using a cross-sectional method. Eighty-four records of women who were diagnosed and treated by laparoscopy in one of the referral hospitals were included. In the control group, women who were referred to health centers for an annual checkup without any history of endometriosis were recruited for the study. They were entered into the study by convenience sampling. Two groups filled out the demographic and Anxiety Beck Inventory in 15 minutes. Data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics using chi-square and t-tests using STATA software. Results The results showed that the mean age of patients in the case and control groups was 31.5 ±5.7 and 31.1 ±6.1, respectively (p=0.57). Findings revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of FSFI between the case and control, respectively (23.08 ±6.1vs 24.47 ±6.6; p=0.031). Conclusion The present study showed that women with endometriosis still experience more anxiety after surgery than healthy women. Therefore, the reasons for women's anxiety should be identified during consultations, and drug and non-drug treatment methods should be used to reduce their anxiety.
