Menopausal Symptom Severity Index

The Menopausal Symptom Severity Index is a tool used to measure the intensity of symptoms experienced by women during menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep problems. It helps healthcare providers understand how menopause affects a woman's daily life. By scoring the severity of these symptoms, doctors can better tailor treatment plans and support for managing menopause. This index is valuable for research and clinical settings, facilitating communication between patients and providers regarding symptom management strategies.
