Stages -1 and -2 according of the STRAW+10 Staging System for Reproductive Aging in Women are included under it [1]. This is a crucial phase in the lives of women where they are juggling between peak stages of their career and taking care of family, both parents and children in most scenarios. This period is impeded by a wide range of perimenopausal symptoms like vasomotor, psychiatric, sleep, sexual, genitourinary, cognitive, and somatic symptoms [2]. This article reveals the impact of perimenopausal symptoms on the quality of life of women and the possible modalities of management.","PeriodicalId":511370,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gynecological & Obstetrical Research","volume":"27 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140359827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this widespread issue, only 55% of healthcare providers assess for these symptoms/disorders. Objective: The objective of this study is to design a training class to increase OBGYN residents’ knowledge and confidence in diagnosing and treating postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. Methods: In 2023 we implemented a program designed to educate Obstetrics & Gynecology resident physicians about the symptoms of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders as well as interventions for validated screening and treatment modalities. Results: A total of 26 residents participated in this training program at of the 49 who were recruited. This resulted in an improvement in foundational knowledge, notably the recognition of postpartum blues versus depression, as well as understanding how to screen for postpartum depression. Conclusions: The program increased resident confidence in recognizing and treating postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.","PeriodicalId":511370,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gynecological & Obstetrical Research","volume":"7 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140359504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
