Materials and Methods. This study was conducted from September, 2019 to June, 2020. In total, 50 women aged 45–55 years who visited gynecological department with complaints of AUB were randomly interviewed by using relevant questionnaire. MENQOL (Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire) was used to assess and evaluate perimenopause related symptoms. Menopausal status was classified according to the definition of menopause proposed by the World Health Organization. Results. The majority (the total of 97.14 %) of women experienced at least five or more menopausal symptoms. Vasomotor symptoms were recorded as hot flushes (80 %), sweating (70 %), and night sweating (62 %). The most common physical symptoms were frequent back pain in the lumbar region (96 %), decreased physical strength (92 %), generalized weakness, tiredness (90 %), weight gain (80 %), and pain in the neck (90 %). Among participants, there were reported various problems such as depressive feeling of unknown reasons (20 %), anxiety and nervousness (20 %), dissatisfaction with personal life (44 %), poor memory (14 %), low mood (14 %), as well as impatience and irritability (12 %). Sexual problems were reported as changed sexual drive (20 %), vaginal dryness (10 %), and few avoided intimate contacts with the partners (10 %). Menopausal status, educational level and body mass indexes as well as marital status were also studied as those among the multi-factors significantly associated with the frequency and severity of menopause related symptoms. Conclusion. The severity of perimenopausal symptoms decreases the QoL in everyday life of women aged 45–55 years with endometrial hyperplasia and АUB.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Цель исследования: оценить влияние на качество жизни ряда симптомов у женщин в перименопаузе с гиперплазией эндометрия и аномальными маточными кровотечениями (АМК). Материал и методы. Исследование проводилось с сентября 2019 г. по июнь 2020 г. Всего опрошено 50 женщин в возрасте 45–55 лет, обратившихся в гинекологическое отделение с жалобами на АМК. Для оценки симптомов, связанных с перимено-паузой, использовали опросник качества жизни в менопаузе (англ. Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire, MENQOL). Статус менопаузы классифицировался в соответствии с определением менопаузы ВОЗ. Результаты. Большинство (97,14 %) женщин испытывали 5 или более симптомов, характерных для менопаузы. Вазомоторные симптомы проявлялись в виде приливов (80 %), потливости (70 %) и ночного потоотделения (62 %). Наиболее частыми соматическими симптомами были частые боли в пояснице (96 %), снижение физической выносливости (92 %), общая слабость, усталость (90 %), увеличение массы тела (80 %), боль в шее (90 %). Обследованные указывали на беспричинное чувство депрессии (20 %), беспокойство и нервозность (20 %), неудовлетворенность личной жизнью (44 %), плохую память (14 %), плохое самочувствие (14 %), нетерпеливость и раздражительность (12 %). Сообщалось о сексуальных проблемах в виде изменения полового влечения (20 %), сухости влагалища (10 %) и некоторых случаев (10 %) нежелания интимного контакта с партнерами. Установлено, что особенности менопаузы, уровень образования и индекс массы тела, семейное положение, которые также изучались, в значительной степени связаны с частотой и выраженностью менопаузальных симптомов. Заключение. Тяжесть перименопаузальных симптомов снижает качество повседневной жизни женщин 45–55 лет с гиперплазией эндометрия и АМК</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>перименопауза</kwd><kwd>качество жизни</kwd><kwd>связанные с перименопаузой симптомы</kwd><kwd>гиперплазия эндометрия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>perimenopause</kwd><kwd>quality of life</kwd><kwd>perimenopausal related symptoms</kwd><kwd>endometrial hyperplasia</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Nisar N., Sohoo N.A.
