In rural Nova Scotia, Canada, a study examined the menopause experience in post menopausal women. Many said that education surrounding menopause related symptoms was needed. The lack of resources has made it hard for the women to understand and decipher what is a reliable source. As a result, most rely on social support as a way to "cope" from the stressors of menopause.[1]
Similarly, a study was conducted in both pre and post menopausal women from Germany and Papua New Guinea. 63.7% pre-menopausal women from Germany had positive perceptions of menopause such as "no menstruations", "retirement", 95.2% of Papua New Guinea women said "no more children" and "no need to buy sanitary towels" as positive aspects of menopause. Hot flashes was the top negative symptom for pre and post menopausal women in Germany. Main negative perceptions of menopause for the women in Papua New Guinea was associated with old age and "fear of illness."[2]
