Abstract


Background: Early surgical menopause increases risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, fracture, cognitive impairment and sexual dysfunction than women with late menopause. Estrogen therapy (ET) remains the most effective therapy for vasomotor symptoms related to surgically induced menopause. Meterials and Methods: It was a prospective cross-section study. Result: Amongst 255 symptomatic women, 163 (63.92%) women had severe vasomotor symptoms and 54 (33.12% of 163 women) of them had very incapacitating symptoms with marked reduction in their quality of life. 59 (23.13%) women had moderate symptoms with mild disturbances in their sleep while 33 (12.94%) women had only mild symptoms. Conclusion: It is agreed that women who undergo bilateral oophorectomy before the onset of natural menopause should be considered for estrogen therapy for the management of vasomotor symptoms until the average age of natural menopause.
