Material & Methodolgy :- Fasting serum samples of all women with surgical and natural menopause were analysed for LH and FSH on Immulite 1000 chemiluminiscence based analyser in special investigation lab. Summary of the Results :- Mean levels of LH and FSH were higher in surgical menopausal women as compared to natural menopausal women.
