Zusammenfassung	The Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) is a 29-item self-report instrument designed to assess quality of life in women experiencing menopausal symptoms. Developed by Hilditch and colleagues in 1996, the MENQOL captures four interrelated symptom domains: vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes, night sweats), psychosocial symptoms (mood, stress, anxiety), physical symptoms (fatigue, aches, sleep), and sexual symptoms. It is the primary menopause-specific outcome measure used in hormone replacement therapy trials and menopause research.	The Female Pelvic Pain Scale (FPPS) is a standardized self-report instrument designed to assess the severity and functional impact of pelvic pain conditions in women, including dysmenorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, interstitial cystitis, and pelvic pain of unclear etiology. By measuring pain intensity, location, timing, and associated functional limitations, the FPPS enables clinicians to quantify baseline pain burden and track treatment response.
