| Summary: | Aim: to assess the effects of several symptoms on the quality of life (QoL) of a number of symptoms in perimenopausal women with endometrial hyperplasia and abnormal uterine bleeding (АUB).Materials and Methods. This study was conducted from Semtember, 2019 to June, 2020. In total, 50 women aged 45–55 years who visited gynecological department with complaints of AUB were randomly interviewed using a questionnaire. MENQOL (Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire) was used to assess and evaluate for perimenopause related symptoms. Menopausal status was classified according to the World Health Organization’s definition of menopause.Results. The majority (the total of 97.14 %) of women experienced at least five or more menopausal symptoms. Vasomotor symptoms were experienced in the form of hot flushes (80 %), sweating (70 %), and night sweating (62 %). The most common physical symptoms were frequent back pain in the lumbar region (96 %), decrease in physical strength (92 %), generalized weakness, tiredness (90 %), weight gain (80 %), pain in the neck (90 %). Of the participants reported, there were various problems such as experiencing depressive feeling for unknown reasons (20 %), anxiety and nervousness (20 %), dissatisfaction with personal life (44 %), poor memory (14 %), feeling low (14 %), and impatience and irritability (12 %). Sexual problems reported in the form of changes in sexual drive (20 %), vaginal dryness (10 %), and a few (10 %) avoided intimate contact with the partners. Menopausal status, educational level and body mass indexes, marital status were also studied as being among the multi-factors that were significantly associated with the frequency and the severity of menopause related symptoms.Conclusion. The severity of perimenopausal symptoms decreases the QoL in everyday life of women aged 45–55 years with endometrial hyperplasia and АUB. |
