Objective: Why do we care whether the menopausal woman engages in – let alone enjoys – sexual pleasure or not? It is surely a very individual area and should be addressed on an individual basis. Today, the majority of menopausal women are busy with work, looking after children and grandchildren and lead fulfilling, busy lives. Why not a great sexual life too? Design and Method: Retrospective analysis of peri and post-menopausal women, experiencing problems related to sexual dysfunction. Detailed sexual health history was obtained, detailing specifics around gynaecological and sexual health screenings and interventions. This gave rise to key factors that displayed sexual dysfunction elements, but once addressed, diminished or resolved the dysfunction. Results: It was found that the majority of women were guarded in discussing sexual problems from a psychosexual framework, however, it remained less challenging to subscribe to the perceived problem being a medical/gynaecological problem. Awareness of age-related health issues and discussion around this influenced appropriate management. Conclusions: Adequate baseline screening is a key concept to address practical impediments and discuss these from a normal aging process. A direct approach, practical information, engagement with the partner and awareness of options around sexual positions and exploration drive these consultations positively. Support and education via linking with a Clinical Psychologist during this process was found to be a key aspect to outcome.

Natural Progesterone

Abstract. The effect of two synthetic injectable progestins, norethisterone oenanthate3 (NET-e) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) upon the hypothalamic pituitary unit was evaluated in post-menopausal women (PMW) and in castrated individuals with androgen un-responsiveness in order to gain insight into their mechanism of gonadotrophin inhibition. Continuous administration of natural progesterone (P4) to PMW by medicated vaginal rings was used as the experimental control. Elevated base line levels of serum immunoreactive gonadotrophins and normal pituitary LRH responses were found in PMW and pseudohermaphrodites. Progesterone did not affect circulating gonadotrophin levels or the pituitary LRH response in PMW. Administration of MPA 150 mg induced a clear decrease in serum gonadotrophins and a significant decrease in LRH pituitary responsiveness in a post-menopausal woman whereas no effect was observed on serum gonadotrophins and pituitary response to LRH in a patient with androgen unresponsiveness. Administration of NET-e 200 mg resulted in a significant decrease in circulating gonadotrophins in PMW and pseudohermaphrodites, while LRH pituitary sensitivity was diminished in all subjects except one post-menopausal woman. These results demonstrated that two structurally different synthetic progestins (NET-e and MPA) had a potent gonadotrophin inhibitory activity in PMW while natural progesterone did not, thus indicating a different mode of action. Furthermore their differing effect on individuals with complete androgen unresponsiveness suggested that antigonadotrophic activity of NET-e is mediated by its oestrogenic-progestational effect, while MPA acts through its androgenic potency and therefore requires the presence of androgen receptors.

ABSTRACT A group of 104 post-menopausal women, who were at least 50 years old and with a time lapse of at least 2 years since the last menstruation, were investigated for their urinary oestrogen content. All the women had an atrophic endometrium as judged by histological investigation of a biopsy specimen. In 66 of the subjects the mean value of the karyopyknotic and eosinophilic indices in the vaginal smear was also calculated. The women, whose ages ranged from 50 to 79 years, were divided into 6 age groups. The median values for the excretion of oestrone, oestradiol, oestriol and total oestrogens and the mean karyopyknotic and eosinophilic indices for all age groups were very constant though there was considerable individual variation. It was also shown that the median values for all subjects were practically identical with those of 57 ovariectomized women reported in a previous study. It is concluded that in the majority of post-menopausal women with atrophic endometrium the ovarian contribution to the production of oestrogens is insignificant. It can also be concluded that with increasing age the normal liver does not significantly change the metabolism of oestrogens in post-menopausal women, as judged by the excretion of oestrone, oestradiol and oestriol, and the oestrogenic effect on the vaginal smear.

And Oxidative Stress

The pathophysiology theory of migraine postulates a local, neurogenic inflammation and the possible involvement of oxidative stress. We analysed the levels of 15-oxo-dihydro-prostaglandin F2α (a metabolite of prostaglandin F2α) and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (a major isoprostane), which are biomarkers for inflammation and oxidative stress respectively, in urine from 21 patients with migraine, with and without aura. Urine samples from migraine patients were collected during a migraine attack, and control samples were collected from the same subjects on a migraine-free morning. The mean basal levels of 15-oxo-dihydro-prostaglandin F2α and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α in the morning control urine samples were 0.54±0.11 and 0.31±0.13nmol/mmol of creatinine respectively. The mean levels of 15-oxo-dihydro-prostaglandin F2α and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α in the urine samples collected during the migraine attack in the 21 patients were 0.53±0.13 and 0.32±0.11nmol/mmol of creatinine respectively. Thus there were no differences in the 15-oxo-dihydro-prostaglandin F2α and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α excretion rates during the migraine attack compared with on the migraine-free day. However, the basal 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α excretion levels on the migraine-free day were significantly lower in pre-menopausal women (0.24±0.08nmol/mmol of creatinine, n = 11) compared with post-menopausal women (0.39±0.14nmol/mmol of creatinine; n = 7; P = 0.009). In conclusion, in this study we found no support for the involvement of inflammation and oxidative stress in migraine pathophysiology. Our results indicate, however, a lower level of oxidative stress in pre-menopausal compared with post-menopausal women.

Introduction: Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Endometrium (PSCCE) is an extremely rare case accounting for only 0.1% of all endometrial cancer cases. It usually occurs in post-menopausal women. Case: We reported a case in the Philippines, a 64-year-old, multiparous, post-menopausal woman who presented with post-menopausal bleeding. Procedure: Endometrial curettage showed squamous cell carcinoma. She then underwent Exploratory Laparotomy, Radical Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy, with Bilateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissectionand Peritoneal Fluid Cytology. Results: Histopathology of the uterus showed squamous cell carcinoma, keratinizing, with full thickness myometrial invasion. Postoperative diagnosis was primary squamous cell carcinoma, keratinizing, endometrium, stage IIIA. Patient was advised to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Conclusion: The etiology of PSCCE is still unclear and usually presents with vaginal bleeding in post-menopausal women. To diagnose, histology should meet three criteria asdefined by Fluhmann. The prognosis is poor and related to stage at diagnosis.

The aims of this study were: to describe farm rice cultivation with tapin and tabela systems practiced by subak and non-subak farmers; to find out the efficiency of farm rice cultivation with tapin and tabela systems on subak and non-subak farmers; to establish the relationship between socio-cultural subak and the efficiency of farm rice cultivation. The study was conducted from June to December 2016. Objects of the study were subak and non-subak farmers who adopted tapin and tabela systems. Data were collected using observation, interview, and study of literature. A total of 60 samples/respondents which were determined purposively and randomly. A descriptive statistical analysis and R/C ratio analysis were used to analyze data. Results of the study showed that: farm rice cultivation by subak farmers who adopted tapin and tabela system was different from that of non-subak farmers, particularly in social and religious aspects; the productivity and efficiency value of subak farmers was higher than that of non-subak farmers, with the subak farmers using tapin and tabela system gained a total of productivity value of Rp 20.741.945,-/hectare and those adopting tabela system reached Rp 20.493.410,-/hectare, and the efficiency value of tapin and tabela was 2.23 and 2.56 respectively. The productivity value of non-subak farmers was lower, with Rp 15.972.705,-/hectare and Rp 15.050.000,-/hectare gained by tapin system and tabela system respectively; it was found from a cross table analysis that the mean score of technology applied by subak farmers per respondent was higher than that of non-subak farmers, which was 12: 9.5 in the tapin system, and 11.27:9 in the tabela system. Based on the score of technology and R/C values, it could be established that there was no relationship between R/C both subak and non-subak.  Keywords: socio-cultural; subak; tapin, tabela; productivity; efficiency.

Background: Although post-menopausal obesity is an important public national health problem in Saudi Arabia, to date no study has evaluated the effects of weight reduction on biochemical & clinical parameters and quality of Life for obese Saudi post-menopausal women. Objective: The aim of this study was examine the effects of aerobic versus resisted exercise training effects upon systemic inflammation biomarkers and quality of life for obese post-menopausal Saudi women. Material and Methods: One hundred Saudi post-menopausal obese women participated in this study, their age ranged from 50-58 years and their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 30-35 kg/m2. All participants were divided into two equal groups: The first group received aerobic exercise training on treadmill where, the second group received resisted exercise training. Health-related quality of life (SF-36 HRQL), tumor necrosis factor– alpha(TNF-α), Interleukin-2(IL-2), Interleukin-4 (IL-4), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 3 months at the end of the study. Results: The mean values of SF-36 HRQL subscale scores were significantly increased, while the mean value of TNF-α, Il-2, IL-4, IL-6,CRP and BMI were significantly decreased in both groups after treatments. There were significant differences between mean levels of the investigated parameters in group (A) and group (B) after treatment with more changes in patients received aerobic exercise training. Conclusion: The current study provides evidence that aerobic exercise is more appropriate than resisted exercise training in modulating inflammatory cytokines and quality of life among obese post-menopausal women.Keywords: Aerobic exercise; resisted exercises; inflammatory cytokine; quality of life; obesity; menopause.

ObjectiveThe objective of current study was to investigate whether associaction exist between depression and low BMD during menopausal and post-menopausal period.MethodsA cross-sectional descriptive study and 1650 women aged 45–65 years were included during 1182 women agreed to participate (71.6%). Data on body mass index (BMI), clinical biochemistry variables including serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D were collected. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered for depression purposes.ResultsA total of 1182 women agreed to participate and responded to the study. The mean age and SD of the menopausal age were 48.71 ± 2.96 with depressed and 50.20 ± 3.22 without depressed (P < 0.001). Also, the mean and SD of postmenopausal age were 58.55 ± 3.27 depressed and 57.78 ± 3.20 without depressed (P < 0.001). There were statistically significance differences between menopausal stages with regards to number of parity, and place of living. There were statistically significance differences between menopausal stages with regards to BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency and sheesha smoking habits. Overall, osteopenia and osteoporosis and bone loss were significantly lower in post-menopausal women than in menopausal women (P < 0.001). Similarly, T-score and z-score were lower with depressed menopause and postmenopausal women (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the depression, the mean serum vitamin D deficiency, calcium level deficiency, less physical activity, co-morbidity, number of parity, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and sheesha smoking habits were considered as the main risk factors associated with bone mineral loss after adjusting for age, BMI and other variables.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.
