The Menopause Type® Questionnaire |
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
The
MTQ is used to determine Menopause Type® based on subjective symptoms of menopause. There are 50 numbered
questions. Within each numbered question there may be one or more questions. |
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
For example, a few questions
contain a single query: |
|
||||||
|
"Are your hands or feet colder?" |
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
Many questions contain
more than one query: |
|
||||||
|
"Are you more irritable? Do you have more
nervous tension?" |
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
The
patient is instructed to answer yes if she experiences any part
of the question. Once the questions are
analyzed, the menopause type based on subjective symptoms is determined. |
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
The
Design of the Menopause Type® Questionnaire |
|
||||||
|
This Questionnaire is designed to facilitate the
collection and analysis of subjective data. |
|
|
|||||
|
|
|||||||
|
The 50 numbered questions are
divided into 8 different sections, designated Section A through G. |
|||||||
|
Each of these sections asks about symptoms associated
with one or more hormone imbalance. |
|||||||
|
The Sections of the MTQ™ |
|||||||
|
Estrogen
deficiency symptoms are inside sections A, D, E & F, while progesterone
deficiency symptoms are in B, D & E. The testosterone deficiency symptoms
are in sections C & D & F, while androgen excess symptoms are in
section G. |
|||||||
|
Sections are
analyzed to determine Menopause Type® based on the
percentage of symptoms in five categories. |
|||||||
|
These five categories are: |
|||||||
|
|
Estrogen Deficit Score |
||||||
|
|
Progesterone Deficit Score |
||||||
|
|
Dual Deficit Score |
||||||
|
|
Testosterone Deficit Score |
||||||
|
|
Androgen Excess Score |
|
|
||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
A percent score of 50% or more will result in choosing a specific symptom category. |
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
Symptom
categories are further analyzed using the Interpretation of Menopause
Type® Questionnaire worksheet (Next Slide) to report a specific Menopause
Type® |
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
|
What's Next? |
|
||||||
|
We will now
present the Interpretation
of Menopause Type® Questionnaire
worksheet. Then, we will review a case using the Menopause
Type® Questionnaire in a clinical setting. |
