Researchers have come up with a new model to predict the final menstrual period in women.
Painful Menstrual Periods / Dysmenorrhea - Symptom Evaluation
Dysmenorrhea or painful menstrual periods can be due to primary or secondary causes.

The researchers took into consideration the levels of two hormones namely, estradiol (E2), a hormone produced by the ovaries, and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to design the model. Increased FSH level along with decreased E2 levels were used to predict the landmark of two years prior to the final menstrual period with 77% specificity.
The authors suggest that once further studies are conducted to validate this model, it could be used to develop user-friendly web applications to predict the final menstrual period and this in turn would help women take precautionary measures to reduce the risk of health complications related to menopause.
