Correlation Between Perimenopausal Anxiety Disorder And Menopausal Time And Analysis Of TCF Syndrome Types

Objective: To explore the correlation between perimenopausal anxiety and menopause time and the analysis of TCM syndromes.Methods: A unified questionnaire was adopted to investigate 194 female patients aged 40-60 who were admitted to the department of gynecology and psychosomatic department of the Autonomous Region Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2019 to March 2021.Data were collected and processed,and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS23 statistical software.Results: The incidence of mild anxiety was 64.95%,moderate anxiety 34.54% and severe anxiety 0.52% in perimenopausal period.The factors with statistical significance that may have an impact on menstrual time were taken as independent variables and included in the Logistic regression analysis.The results showed that there was no significant difference in each variable between the reference group and the reference group when the menopause time was 1-4 months.Compared with the reference group,the anxiety level was higher at 9-12 months(β=-1.02,P =0.01);Compared with the reference group,the age of > 12 months of menopause was lower(β=-0.53,P <0.001).Compared with the reference group,the duration of menopause was longer(β=3.67,P <0.001)and the anxiety level was higher(β=-1.57,P =0.01)in those with both renal and Yin needs.The age of the two groups with different anxiety in perimenopausal anxiety did not follow normal distribution.According to Mann-Whitney U test,there was significant difference in the age of the first menstrual disorder among patients with different anxiety levels(Z=-4.064,P = 0.000<0.05).The common TCM syndromes of perimenopausal mild anxiety patients include dryness in Yin deficiency,Yin deficiency of liver and kidney,stagnation of liver qi,and dampness of phlegm.The common TCM syndromes of moderate anxiety patients include dryness in Yin deficiency,Yin deficiency of liver and kidney,stagnation of liver qi,and dampness of phlegm block.Conclusion: Different anxiety levels in perimenopausal period are correlated with menopause time.The higher the anxiety level is,the longer the menopause time is.Therefore,it is necessary to study the correlation between perimenopausal anxiety and menstruation to reduce the influence of perimenopausal anxiety on women’s family relations.
