It is defined by the absence of menstruation for twelve consecutive months towards middle-aged women without a clear physiological or pathological cause and without medical intervention. The onset of menopause is accompanied by various symptoms. Over time, severe menopausal symptoms can become a significant health burden, affecting the quality of life and happiness of women. This study aims to know the prevalence of menopausal symptoms in the middle-aged population at Community Health Centers in Palembang City.
