The findings of this study suggest that all post-menopausal women should undergo periodic examination for acute stress. When accompanied with the clinical presence of psychosomatic disorder/lesions, salivary estimation of alpha-amylase may be utilized as a diagnostic tool for women enduring postmenopausal psychological anguish.
