Qualité de vie parmi les femmes ménopausées dans les zones rurales du gouvernorat de Minya (Égypte)RÉSUMÉ La présente étude avait pour objectif de déterminer la prévalence et la sévérité des symptômes de la ménopause ainsi que leur impact sur la qualité de vie des femmes ménopausées dans les zones rurales du gouvernorat de Minya. Une étude transversale a été menée auprès de 1100 femmes ménopausées âgées de 45 à 60 ans sélectionnées par échantillonnage aléatoire à plusieurs degrés. L'échelle MRS (menopause rating scale) a été utilisée pour évaluer les symptômes de la ménopause. L'âge moyen à la ménopause était 48,9 ans (ET 4) . Les symptômes les plus fréquents étaient les douleurs articulaires et musculaires (82,1 %), l'épuisement physique et mental (69,6 %) ainsi que les bouffées de chaleur et la transpiration (49,2 %). Le score moyen de l'échelle MRS au niveau somatique était de 4,12 (ET 2,22) tandis qu'au niveau psychologique, il était de 2,86 (ET 2,50) et au niveau urogénital, de 2,13 (ET 1,04). Le score total indiquait une sévérité modérée des symptômes [9,11 (ET 5,76)]. L'éducation, la situation matrimoniale, l'emploi, la parité et la durée postménopause étaient significativement associés au score de l'échelle MRS. Les agents de soins de santé primaires ruraux doivent être conscients de cette étape critique de la vie des femmes afin de les aider à gérer les symptômes qui peuvent affecter la qualité de leur vie. ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of menopausal symptoms and their effect on the quality of life of postmenopausal women in rural Minia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1 100 postmenopausal women aged 45-60 years selected by multistage random sampling. The menopause rating scale (MRS) was used to assess the menopausal symptoms. The mean age at menopause was 48.9 (SD 4) years. The most frequent symptoms were joint and muscle pain (82.1%), physical and mental exhaustion (69.6%) and hot flushes and sweating (49.2%). The mean MRS somatic score was 4.12 (SD 2.22), the psychological score was 2.86 (SD 2.50) and urogenital score was 2.13 (SD 1.04). The total MRS score indicated that the symptoms were of moderate severity [9.11 (SD 5.76)]. Education, marital status, occupation, parity and postmenopausal duration were significantly associated with MRS score. Rural primary health care workers should be aware of this critical stage of life in women to help women deal with symptoms that may affect their quality of life. ‫مرص‬ ‫املنيا،‬ ‫بمحافظة‬ ‫الريفية‬ ‫املناطق‬ ‫يف‬ ‫الطمث‬ ‫انقطاع‬ ‫بعد‬ ‫النساء‬ ‫صفوف‬ ‫يف‬ ‫احلياة‬ ‫جودة‬

“…It is estrogen that hormonally prepares the uterus to accommodate the fertilised egg, and this remarkable phenomenon happens when estrogen radically stimulates the thickness of the uterine lining, so as to stabilise the implanting capacity of the fertilised egg. 3 Three types of estrogen exist in the female's body: the first of these is referred to as 'estradiol'. It is regarded as the most potent of the three types, and it is manufactured in the ovaries.…”
