Insomnia is the most common symptom among perimenopausal women (during STRAW+10 stages -1 to +2) in Chinese communities. Insomnia, nervousness, fatigue, vertigo, and melancholia symptoms are most severe in stage +1a; headaches, paresthesia, palpitations, and formication are most severe in stage -2; sexual discomfort, urinary tract infection, and musculoskeletal pain are most severe in stage +2; hot flashes are most severe in stage -1. Menopausal symptom severity is associated with multiple factors such as education, family satisfaction, and physical labor.
