Abstract

Early menopause occurs when woman stops bleeding at the age of 40 to 45 years. Menopausal symptoms include missed periods, hot flushes, night flushes and reduced sex drive. The ratio of early menopause is increasing day by day. Almost 10% women experiencing early menopause. This ratio increasing day by day due to shift in the reproductive cycles. Many factors affecting the early menopause, progesterone level is one of the main factors. The females above age of 40 have different level of progesterone. The low level of progesterone affects the menstrual cycle of women. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of progesterone level on early menopause. For this study sample size was 40. The samples were divided into two groups, control and experimental group. The age of all participants were 40 to 45 years. For this research work 40 blood samples were collected. The collected blood samples were processed on Abbott by using chemiluminescence technique. The device used in this study were Abbott. The questionnaire was used to find out the symptoms of early menopause. The results were statistically analyzed by using t-test independent on SPSS. It has been found that the low level of progesterone affects the early menopause in women. This study will help to give awareness that if a woman has menopausal symptoms, she should take it seriously and visit doctor.
