Abstract :
The word 'menopause' comes from the
Greek words 'menos', meaning month, and 'pause',
meaning to cease. So, menopause means the 'monthly'
(the period) stops”. Menopause is the life time event
among women when menstrual cycles completely cease
for a period of 12 consecutive months, and is caused by
reduced secretion of the ovarian hormone oestrogen.
Perimenopause is defined as the time of irregular
periods until menopause. Postmenopause is a period
after the menopause until the end of the life. The length
of the perimenopausal transition is estimated at nearly 4
years. The age of natural menopause in Indian women is
46.2 ± 4.9 years. The Indian women begin their
perimenopausal stage, identified by irregular periods, by
the age of 44.69 ± 3.79 years. Menopause is a period
accompanied by many physical and emotional changes
that include vasomotor symptoms including night
sweats, hot flashes, and pain; joint pain; decreased
motion flexibility; vaginal discharge; stress incontinence;
reduced hydration and wrinkling of the skin;
neuropsychiatric symptoms such as forgetfulness,
headache; psychiatric problems such as depression,
anxiety & insomnia. Systemic vasomotor symptoms
(VMS) are the classic cluster affecting 80% of peri- and
post-menopausal women. Genitourinary syndrome of
menopause (GSM), are seen in 50% of postmenopausal
women, and it negatively impacts quality of life.
Supplementing estrogen in the form of phytoestrogenic
products may reduce the physiological symptoms related
with menopause such as hot flash, heart racing, joint and
muscle irritability and uro-genital issues. Techniques
which activates the production of opioids and stimulates
release of Cortical may reduce psychological symptoms
like depression and anxiety and improve the sleep
quality. The aim of the study is to compare the effect of
oral intake of turmeric paste and progressive muscle
relaxation over physiological and psychological
symptoms of menopause. Method: Quantitative
approach, true experimental, crosses over design was
used. Sample: The study was performed on 60
perimenopausal and post menopausal women, aged 40-
60 years who experienced various degrees of menopausal
symptoms, residing at selected Villages in Namakkal
District and who fulfilled the inclusion criteria.
