Medical Surgical Women's Health: Peri-menopause & Menopause

Hello Everyone, here is a women's health lecture on peri-menopause & menopause made easy to understand to help aide in your study sessions. I have gathered all of the important information from my Med- Surg Book (Brunners and Suddarth 12th edition) that will prepare you for your nursing test whether it is for school or NCLEX.

Here are some Extra information that may help and guide you...

Clinical Manifestations:

Some women report fatigue, forgetfulness, weight gain,
irritability, trouble sleeping, feeling “blue,” and feelings of panic. Menopausal complaints need to be evaluated carefully because they may indicate other disorders. Most women have few problems and are relieved to be free from menstrual periods.

Psychological Considerations:

Women’s reactions and feelings related to loss of reproductive capacity may vary. Some women may experience role confusion, whereas others experience a sense of sexual and personal freedom. Women may be relieved that the childbearing phase of their lives is over. Each woman’s personal views about menopause and circumstances affect her response and must be considered on an individual basis. Nurses need to be sensitive to all possibilities and take their cues from the patient.
