Pelvic Floor Symptoms Across Menopausel Stages
Comparison of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, Bowel Function, and Sexual Health Across Menopausal Stages in Women
The menopausal transition is associated with substantial hormonal alterations that may adversely affect lower urinary tract function, bowel function, and sexual health. Although these symptoms are common, few studies have comprehensively evaluated all three pelvic floor compartments across different menopausal stages.
The aim of this study is to compare lower urinary tract symptoms, bowel symptoms, and female sexual function among women in the perimenopausal, early postmenopausal, and late postmenopausal stages. In addition, the relationship between menopausal stage and symptom severity will be investigated.
調査の概要
状態
詳細な説明
Menopause is characterized by estrogen deficiency, resulting in structural and functional alterations in pelvic floor tissues. Lower urinary tract symptoms, bowel dysfunction, and female sexual dysfunction are increasingly recognized as important health concerns during the menopausal transition.
Despite growing evidence regarding individual pelvic floor disorders, few studies have simultaneously evaluated urinary, colorectal, and sexual symptoms across different menopausal stages.
This study will classify women according to STRAW+10 criteria into:
Perimenopause Early postmenopause Late postmenopause
Participants will undergo a single assessment session. Demographic information together with validated questionnaires will be collected. No intervention or treatment will be provided.

Perimenopause
Perimenopausal women according to STRAW+10 criteria
|
Lower urinary tract symptoms will be assessed using the validated Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire.
Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and poorer urinary health-related quality of life.
Bowel symptoms and colorectal-anal distress will be evaluated using the Colorectal Anal Distress Inventory-8.
Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and distress related to bowel dysfunction.
Constipation severity will be assessed using the Cleveland Clinic Constipation Score.
Higher scores represent more severe constipation symptoms.
Female sexual function will be assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index, a validated questionnaire evaluating desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain.
Higher scores indicate better sexual function.
|
|
Early postmenopause
Early postmenopausal women according to STRAW+10 criteria
|
Lower urinary tract symptoms will be assessed using the validated Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire.
Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and poorer urinary health-related quality of life.
Bowel symptoms and colorectal-anal distress will be evaluated using the Colorectal Anal Distress Inventory-8.
Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and distress related to bowel dysfunction.
Constipation severity will be assessed using the Cleveland Clinic Constipation Score.
Higher scores represent more severe constipation symptoms.
Female sexual function will be assessed using the Female Sexual Function Index, a validated questionnaire evaluating desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain.
Higher scores indicate better sexual function.
