Menopausal Quality of Life

Emotional, Occupational, Physical Health, and Sexual Health are among the primary pillars of life that get altered and shaken once a woman enters into perimenopause. In the perimenopause period, which often lasts for about 4-10 years, when her Estrogen levels fall consistently, a few of the fundamental things that make her a woman herself collapse.ย  Problems with menopause are deeper than just symptoms like hot flashes.

Menopause is neither a clinical condition nor a disease that can be and needs to be treated. Menopause needs to be understood and managed. Accepting a new life, creating new sets of responsibilities, and looking at life in a new way but one that has continuity with life is most important for women.

Menopause shakes the very self-perception of a woman, and therefore understanding the new self is more important than simply taking pills for symptomatic relief.

This self-assessment instrument helps you to assess the quality of your life in four dimensions:

  • Sexuality
  • Emotions
  • Health
  • Professional Life

Professional life is interlinked with self-esteem, and affirmation of being functional and productive, and is needed. Emotional health and sexuality are interlinked to interpersonal relationships and happiness. Family and personal life, coupled with confidence are interlinked to mental comfort, which finally is interlinked to overall health.
