Abstract

Menopause is permanent cessation of menstruation resulting from the loss of ovarian follicular activity. Women suffer many troublesome problems after menopause resulting from estrogen deficiency. Aim of this study is to compare symptomatic response in Indian women using different medicine preparations for treatment of menopausal symptoms. It is an observational prospective study conducted in PMCH Gynae OPD from October 2017 to September 2019. Two hundred women were enrolled and assigned to different treatment groups. There was 90.32% decrease in hot flushes in E2V group while it was 87.09% in CEE group. Psychosomatic symptoms reduced by 75% and 70% in E2V and CEE group respectively. Sexual and urinary symptoms also got more improved when treated with estrogen preparations. Both estradiol valerate and conjugated estrogen were effective in reducing severity of hot flushes, psychosomatic symptoms, sexual and urinary symptoms as compared to isoflavones and placebo. Isoflavones had very little advantage over placebo
