Australian Menopausal Society Symptom Score Card

The AMS Symptom Score Card is a short questionnaire designed to help you and your doctor understand the severity and impact of your menopause or perimenopause symptoms.

Assess how menopause is affecting your daily life 3. Guide decisions about treatment options 4. Monitor your progress over time We encourage you to complete the scorecard before your menopause consultation and bring it with you, or submit it via your online form if provided.
