Abstract: Background and Objectives: Early evaluation of risk factors and menopause symptoms and consequences. Long-term osteoporosis complications prevention. The Singh index is a cheap, straightforward approach that used measure osteoporosis depending on the radiological aspect of the proximal femur's trabecular bone over an AP radiograph. Osteoporosis graded by singh index.
Methods: 52 postmenopausal women who were randomly chosen from the Gynecology OPD at the Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences in Narketpally participated in the current study. Women who were postmenopausal and went to the gynaecology OPD were included. Women having a confirmed case of endometrial cancer, endometriosis, genital cancer, breast cancer, or a history of fractures were not included.
Results: Average women's age was 64. Mean menopausal age is 49.71 years. 69% (n=52) of postmenopausal women in the study group had osteoporosis using Singh's index. Of 36 osteoporotic patients, 41.6% are in Singh's grade 2 and 58.33% are in grade 3. None of the osteoporotic patients are in singh’s grade 1.Utilizing singh's index, menopausal years correlate with menopause grades. Menopausal years correlate with symptoms. Symptomatic osteoporosis patients make about 55% of the total. Backache was reported by 60% of study participants. Over 50% of women complain of musculoskeletal issues, suggesting they have bone loss following menopause.
Conclusion: An X-ray for Singh's grading together with questionnaires to analyse high-risk cases can be a start toward early screening in those women who stand to benefit from these preventative measures.
