A symptom report to take to your GP
What this questionnaire helps with
This tool is designed to help you make sense of common menopause symptoms and create a useful report to support a conversation with your GP.
What it is
The questionnaire is based on the Greene Climacteric Scale, a symptom scoring tool used internationally in research and clinical practice.
- Covers many common physical, psychological and vasomotor symptoms
- Useful for creating a clearer picture of what you are experiencing
- Can help track how symptoms change over time
What it does not do
This questionnaire is a helpful guide, but it cannot diagnose menopause on its own.
- It does not capture every possible menopause symptom
- It does not specifically assess vaginal and urinary symptoms, which can be very important for some women
- Your score still needs to be interpreted alongside your age, cycle changes, history and wider symptoms
What your score means
Your score can be useful, but it should always be seen as one part of a bigger picture.
This questionnaire is based on the Greene Climacteric Scale. Research has shown that women scoring over 12 are more likely to be experiencing menopausal symptoms. But that number is only a guide — not a diagnosis and not a treatment threshold.
Over 12
May suggest menopausal symptoms are contributing to what you are experiencing.
Below 12
Does not rule menopause or perimenopause out. Women can still have significant symptoms with a lower score.
Any score
Needs to be interpreted in context. Higher scores can also be caused by things other than menopause.
