Summary: Recent findings suggest that early menopause transition may exacerbate existing MRMDs due to hormonal changes, leading to depressive mood in some women. There is also evidence that some women with MRMD may have increased mood sensitivity to ovarian hormone withdrawal during late menopause transition and early postmenopausal phase. Further research is needed to clarify the trajectory of premenstrual dysphoria in the menopause transition and to be vigilant for potential worsening of symptoms in perimenopause for women with past or current premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the rate of return to baseline functional status after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery in women 65 years or older. Most older women undergoing POP surgery, including those with low preoperative functional status, return to or improve from their baseline functional status within 3 months of surgery. However, women with higher preoperative functional status are less likely to report improvement in physical functioning after surgery.

Summary: This study found elevated psychophysiologic arousal in the luteal phase among some women with PMDD, suggesting impaired ability to modulate arousal reactivity. Specifically, alterations in APS suggest potential GABA-A-R changes across the menstrual cycle and in response to sertraline among treatment responders.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the association between adverse childhood experiences and discontinuation of hormonal contraception due to mood and sexual side effects. The results showed that women with adverse childhood experiences were more likely to discontinue hormonal contraception due to decreases in sexual desire. However, there was no association between adverse childhood experiences and mood or sexual side effects among current hormonal contraceptive users.
