ABSTRACT
The hormonal levels and symptoms after natural menopause have been studied in 100 patients. The mean age was 56.8 years while menopausal age was 50.3 years. Postmenopausal symptoms presented 55.0 per cent with the three most common complaints of hot flushes, emotional lability and vaginal dryness, respectively. The levels of plasma FSH, estradiol and testosterone were also reported corresponding to the years after menopause. Both gonadotropins reach a maximum concentration at two to three years after the menopause and then gradually declined. The LH/FSH ratio was 0.6. The mean concentration of estradiol was 10.07 pg/ml, the level remained consistently low during the menopausal period. Testosterone concentration declined little in postmenopausal women.
