Background: Menopause is a physiologic process that occurs in every woman. While the ovaries' cessation of endocrinological activity causes a drop in estrogenic hormone concentration, a number of systemic processes occur in the women's body, resulting in the undesired symptoms observed by women during this period. In addition to the natural aging process of the oral tissues, the changes seen in the oral cavity are caused by post-menopausal women's hormone fluctuations. Objectives: To ascertain the oral symptoms in post-menopausal women by clinical examination, to determine their emotional well-being status by using a questionnaire, and to determine their common age range of occurrence of manifestations. Methods: One hundred and twenty patients who attained menopause were included in this study and categorized into group 1 (n = 30 attained menopause in the past 1 to 5 years), group 2 (n = 30 attained menopause in the past 6 to 10 years), group 3 (n = 30 attained menopause in the past 11 to 15 years), and group 4 (n = 30 attained menopause >15 years). Results: Emotional well-being status alterations are greater in group 4 and group 3, followed by group 2 comparatively, and groups 3 and 4 had more oral manifestations. Conclusion: Women who have experienced menopause for longer than 5 years were more likely to experience oral manifestations and emotional disturbances. This study was an attempt to improve the health of post-menopausal women by improving inter-speciality understanding and collaboration. |
