註釋This study was conducted as a sub-study of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health and two separate studies were conducted, a cross-sectional study and a prospective study. The cross-sectional study was developed to describe the characteristics of Australian women who choose hysterectomy as a treatment for menstrual symptoms and to identify relationships and pathways from menstrual problems to hysterectomy (n=201). The main findings from this study indicate that there is not enough information available to women about treatment options for the relief of menstrual problems, excluding hysterectomy. Satisfaction with hysterectomy as a treatment for menstrual problems was reported by the majority of women, in spite of these women also reporting the onset of new problems. Few women had tried a range of treatment options for the relief of their menstrual problems prior to their hysterectomy. The prospective study was developed to identify factors which predict the number and type of treatment tried for the relief of menstrual problems (n=486).
