| Annotation | This paper describes the cultural context of middle-aged Thai women who took part in a survey of symptoms and attitudes to menopause. The women lived in Nonthaburi province, adjacent to Bangkok, which has undergone a transition from rural to urban. Thai women perceive menstruation as an indicator of health, and take special care during menstruation. Some women looked forward to menopause, while others were found to be ambivalent towards it. |
