One hundred and eighty-two Bengali Hindu postmenopausal women (aged 42 to 65 years) living in Kolkata, India participated in the study. Data on socio-demographic, reproductive characteristics, MENQOL, and attitude towards menopause were collected. Results revealed that botheration with symptoms related to vasomotor and sexual domains remained significantly higher among the participants within 3 years after menopause, while botheration with symptoms related to physical and psychosocial domains and the impairment in MENQOL were likely to increase with increase in 'years after menopause'. Participants who attained menopause less than 3 years ago had positive attitude towards menopause than that of those who attained menopause more than 3 years ago. Hierarchical linear regression suggested that score of attitude towards menopause was inversely associated with symptoms related to psychosocial domain, but was positively associated with educational levels and occupational types of the participants. We conclude that Bengali Hindu postmenopausal women reported impaired MENQOL and developed negative attitude towards menopause with increase in 'years after menopause'. After controlling the confounders, only psychosocial domain showed strong association with attitude towards menopause.","PeriodicalId":52104,"journal":{"name":"Post reproductive health","volume":" ","pages":"23-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143392043","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}

Among the available treatments, the vaginal natural oxygenation device (VNOD) is a new promising option.AimTo evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of vaginal high concentration (HC) oxygen (O2) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in postmenopausal women with vaginal atrophy (VA).MethodsStudy 1: Ten subjects received HA and O2 at a concentration of 21% (sham group) and ten at 95% (treatment group). All subjects completed five sessions of VNOD. Evaluations and questionnaires were completed at baseline, before each session and at one-month follow-up: Visual Analogue Scale, Vaginal Health Index (VHI), Vaginal Maturation Value (VMV), Menopause Quality Of Life (MeNQoL), Female sexual function index (FSFI) and Female sexual distress scale (FSDS). Study 2: 52 postmenopausal women with VA completed the same protocol of study 1 with HC O2 and HA.ResultsTreatment was well-tolerated. In study 1, in the treatment group we recorded significant improvements in VHI score (p-value 0.001), VMV (p-value 0.005) and in the psychosocial, physical and sexual domains of the MeNQoL compared to sham group. In study 2, all women experienced a significant improvement in VHI (p-value <0.001), FSFI total score (p-value 0.007), desire (p-value 0.004), lubrication (p-value 0.006), satisfaction (p-value 0.042), pain (p-value 0.001) domains, FSDS score (p-value 0.003) and MeNQoL sexual domain (p-value <0.001).ConclusionThe preliminary results of this study suggest that VNOD is a safe and effective treatment for VA in postmenopausal women, and improves sexual function.","PeriodicalId":52104,"journal":{"name":"Post reproductive health","volume":" ","pages":"9-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142829976","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}

No United Kingdom (UK) based studies have specifically investigated Muslim women's menopause experiences. This study examines immigrant Muslim women's experiences of and perspectives on menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and menopause-related healthcare (MRH).MethodsUsing constructivist grounded theory, we conducted online, in-depth, semi-structured interviews with participants recruited through the Brighton and Hove Muslim Women's group. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed through grounded theory coding (open, focused, selective, theoretical).ResultsTwelve interviews revealed a core theme, 'Regaining Agency', shaped by three interconnected categories: 'Losing Control of My Body', 'Dealing with Menopause Alone', and 'Navigating a Web of Silence'. Women reported physical and emotional challenges, including sleep disruption, cognitive changes, and anxiety, with cultural stigma and limited knowledge compounding negative perceptions and experiences. Health-seeking behaviours varied; while some women viewed menopause as natural, others saw it as a medical issue. Misconceptions about HRT led to hesitancy; however, users reported significant symptom relief. Many encountered barriers to MRH, often facing dismissive and uninformed healthcare providers.ConclusionEnhanced education and support for menopausal women, along with mandatory training for general practitioners, are essential to improve the experience of menopausal transition for immigrant Muslim women.","PeriodicalId":52104,"journal":{"name":"Post reproductive health","volume":" ","pages":"33-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11909765/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report two cases of postmenopausal women with rapidly progressive signs of virilization and negative or indeterminate imaging for pelvic masses.MethodsBoth patients underwent a complete hormone profile, inconclusive transvaginal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic computed tomography.ResultsSerum hormone analysis revealed for both cases a marked increase in serum total testosterone (T). In the first woman, Δ-4 androstenedione (Δ-4 A), dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) and cortisol levels were in a normal range for age. In the second, Δ-4 A and DHEA-S levels were below the reference range. For both women, an ovarian source of androgens was suspected and bilateral laparoscopic oophorectomy was performed. Ovarian histology demostrated bilateral Leydig cell tumor (LCT) in the first case and bilateral ovarian thecoma in the second. After surgery, total testosterone returned to normal levels and clinical symptoms subsided.ConclusionsIn cases of postmenopausal androgen excess, physicians must rule out relatively rare androgen-producing tumors originating from the adrenals or ovaries. Regardless of imaging evaluation, our report highlights the importance of prompt and careful clinical and hormonal evaluation to ensure appropriate and timely treatment for the patient.","PeriodicalId":52104,"journal":{"name":"Post reproductive health","volume":" ","pages":"45-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142741214","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}

In view of the new system launch, there were further delays in roll over of patient information which was recorded on the previous EPR to EPIC which increased time for clinicians to find relevant information and access new referrals as they had to switch to the old system for information gathering. This resulted in lengthy electronic record searches, on top of getting used to the new system, subsequently significantly prolonging the clinic appointment times which had a knock-on effect on clinic wait and ultimately negatively impacting patient's experience. It was therefore felt that introducing and trialling an electronic tool in the form of a questionnaire made accessible within the relevant section in EPIC might attempt to reduce prolonged clinic wait times in our menopause clinic. We developed a detailed and comprehensive menopause clinic questionnaire aimed at gathering the patient's information before the clinic appointment. Overall patients had a positive opinion and good understanding of the questionnaire. We concluded that the questionnaire could be classed as an outpatient improvement process which aims to reduce clinic wait times.","PeriodicalId":52104,"journal":{"name":"Post reproductive health","volume":" ","pages":"41-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143517269","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}
