Aim Individual differences and sociodemographic, gynecological, and cultural characteristics affect the severity of menopausal symptoms. This study aimed to reveal the severity of menopausal symptoms experienced by Turkish women and the risk factors that cause women to experience very severe menopausal symptoms. Methods This cross‐sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 435 women in menopause. The Personal Information Form and the Menopause Rating Scale were used to collect data. In logistic regression analysis, backward stepwise Wald binary logistic regression method was used. In the logistic regression analysis, there were 30 independent variables. The dependent variable was determined as the total MRS score. Results The mean score of the somatic symptoms sub‐dimension was 3.14 ± 2.12, the mean score of the psychological symptoms sub‐dimension was 10.11 ± 5.66, and the mean score of the urogenital symptoms sub‐dimension was 3.58 ± 2.90. The total mean score of the Menopause Rating Scale was 16.83 ± 9.31. Menopausal age between 44 and 50 years old (OR = 10.681), having a chronic illness (OR = 6.432), having more than 5 pregnancies (OR = 5.372), and spouse's primary school or below education level (OR = 4.02) increase the severity of menopausal symptoms. Conclusion It is recommended that healthcare professionals evaluate the symptoms of women in the menopause period to provide them with psychological and social support and to help the spouse and family cooperate with women in menopause in compliance with the process.

“…Indeed, an apposite understanding of climacteric and menopause could effectively reduce those negative feelings [12].The most common uncomfortable somatic symptoms occurred during menopause include joint and muscle disorders, fatigue, sleep disorders, and hot flashes or sweating [13].Then the symptoms of urogenital tract atrophy gradually occur, and chronic diseases such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will occur in late menopause [14].A systematic retrospective study included 23 articles on the prevalence of menopausal symptoms in Asian women. The final sample size was 18166.The purpose was to evaluate the prevalence of Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology…”

“…Inadequate sleep would then cause negative health problems and psychological issues, while researchers found that stress from income and occupational status has an impact on sleep quality. In this case, patients are easy to be trapped in the vicious spiral of sleep disorder and depression [10,12,13].…”

“…More specifically, women in perimenopausal states and postmenopausal states reported more serious symptoms in both somatic and psychological aspects.A study investigating New-Zealand women before has found a subtle relation between menopausal status and occupational status, whereby women at an age of 40 in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal states are found in low occupational families (at an age of 40 with Low occupational status defined by New Zealand Socio-Economic Index, NZSEI, the percentages of women in premenopause, perimenopause and postmenopause are 10.4, 17.9, and 20.0, respectively) [10]. Other findings have suggested that menopausal status is irrelevant to social well-being, psychological functions, and education level [13].…”

“…To evaluate the severity of menopausal symptoms and their effect on the quality of life, researchers in a previous study researching menopausal symptoms and sleeping disorders used the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) can be used, which includes 11 items and has three subscales consisting of somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a self-reported scale evaluating the sleep quality [13]. The results from the MRS may provide a reference for patients to decide whether the symptoms are so serious that need to see a doctor.…”

With the development of our society, people are putting more and more emphasis on women’s health. Perimenopause is a period that women must experience. When women are in perimenopause, their hormone levels will change greatly, resulting in obvious physiological changes, such as hot flashes, night sweats and other physical symptoms,such as muscle and joint problems, urinal system, and cardiac problems.In fact, there will be a series of psychological changes, such as depression, anxiety and so on, but most of the symptoms will be covered up by physical symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. When patients have negative emotions, they will continue to have an impact on the development of the disease, and even accelerate the development of the disease, gradually forming a vicious circle.It is very important for perimenopausal women to do a good job in hormone supplementation and mental health care, and it is also the key to help perimenopausal women alleviate the physiological and psychological changes caused by menopause. MHT is the first-line recommended treatment, which can also be supplemented by other treatments, such as physical exercise, yoga, warm acupuncture, etc
