Menopause is an important phase of woman's life that occurs after 45 years of age. In this period women face lots of problematic symptoms which disturb their daily life. The present study was planned and conducted on 150 women of different age groups. A self-structured interview schedule was used for collecting information regarding their complaints both physical and psychological. Data were analyzed for frequency of symptoms and comparison was made in different age groups. The results revealed that prominent symptoms of menopause faced by women vary in different age groups, but every woman had unique experience of this phase with variation of occurrence. Onset of menopause was mostly between 40–44 years, but sometimes these symptoms continue in their later life also. The discomfort situation was controlled by using different practices like exercise, healthy diet, therapy and doctor's advice.
