ABSTRACT
Menopause impacts women differently, with variations based on factors like socioeconomic status and healthcare. The objective of this research is to investigate the economic situation and symptoms of menopausal women in Perambalur district. This descriptive research centered on menopausal females living in urban and rural parts of Perambalur district. 55 participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Information on demographics, menopausal symptoms, and their impact on everyday activities was gathered using a questionnaire. The findings were interpreted by SPSS software. Prior studies have emphasized the diverse range of menopausal symptoms and underscored the significance of acknowledging their frequency and effects on women's overall well-being. Symptoms like hot flashes, disrupted sleep, and psychological impacts have been observed in various groups, highlighting the importance of personalized treatment plans. The findings reveal that a substantial proportion of females experienced severe symptoms, with hot flashes (81.8%), vaginal dryness (92%), and lack of concentration (85.5%) being particularly prevalent. Notably, 41.8% of participants reported that their daily routines were significantly disrupted. This research emphasizes the importance of specific health interventions and support systems to tackle the difficulties experienced by menopausal women in India.
