What is this actually costing you?
Fourteen questions about the last four weeks, across seven parts of your life. Roughly four minutes. You'll get seven separate answers, ordered by what's costing you most, and no single score, because a number that averages your sex life against your job doesn't tell anyone anything useful.
- It measures consequence, not severity. The Menopause Rating Scale asks how strong your symptoms are. This asks what they're taking from you. The two answers often disagree, and the disagreement is the useful part.
- There is no total. We report each area on its own and never roll them into one figure. Averaging seven unrelated parts of a life into a single number looks precise and tells you nothing you can act on.
- It's ours, and it's sourced. The questions are written against the published menopause quality-of-life literature, MENQOL, the Utian scale, the Women's Health Questionnaire and the Menopause Foundation of Canada's work data. Full list at the bottom of this page.
- It isn't a diagnosis. Nothing here says what's causing what. It says what you told us, back to you, in an order you can use.
