Waking up in the middle of the night with drenched bed clothes and fanning the sudden rushes of heat with anything handy are two classic menopausal symptoms.
All the common symptoms are associated with a decrease in oestrogen. They vary hugely in duration, severity and their impact on women.

The Greene Climacteric Scale provides a brief measure of menopause symptoms. It can be used to assess changes in different symptoms, before and after menopause treatment. You can use this form to help monitor your menopause journey and check your treatment is still suiting your needs. The form can be printed and taken to a medical appointment, emailed to your doctor or kept for your own records.
