Answer all 21 questions to see your symptom profile.

Based on the Greene Climacteric Scale (Greene, Maturitas 1998). It measures how much menopause-type symptoms bother you; it has no pass mark and cannot diagnose the menopause or rule out other causes such as thyroid problems or anaemia. It's most useful for tracking change over time. Nothing you enter is stored, sent or logged.
