Introduction: Menopause is defined as a complete year without menstrual bleeding due to a natural decline in reproductive hormones or natural cessation, or stopping, of a woman's menstrual cycle, and marks the end of fertility. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but can develop before or after this age range.1,2 Menopause is the point when a woman no longer has menstrual periods for at least 12 months. At this stage, the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs and producing most of their estrogen.3 The decrease in estrogen levels produces a series of symptoms that impair physical, mental, quality of life (QOL), affecting the and sexual health of women.3,4 Need of Study: The primary problem in peri-menopausal and menopausal women is perineal laxity, vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence & pain in pelvic region.

Group A received Pelvic Floor Muscles Strengthening Exercises & Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) subjects receive the treatment for 4 days/week for 12 weeks, session of 45-60 minutes Subjects were positioned on a treatment couch in supine position with adequate back support. The position of patient was changed according to the exercise protocol.
