Prevalence and severity of symptoms across the menopause transition: cross-sectional findings from the Australian Women’s Midlife Years (AMY) Study
Our findings suggest that moderately-to-severely bothersome vasomotor symptoms can reliably indicate the onset of perimenopause in women with oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea. Although other symptoms might be caused or exacerbated by menopause, other factors contributing to their occurrence need to be considered and included in management and care. Additionally, treatment options and care pathways are crucial to improve wellbeing during the perimenopause.
