Résumé
Earlier menopause, either natural or through gynecologic surgeries, has been associated with various negative health sequelae. While posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to dysregulated biological processes, including reproductive system changes that could alter menopausal timing, little work has examined whether trauma and PTSD are associated with greater risk of early cessation of menses. Data are from 46,639 women in the Nurses' Health Study II, a prospective cohort study of women followed for up to 26 years. Lifetime trauma and PTSD symptoms were assessed with the Brief Trauma Questionnaire and a PTSD symptom screener in 2008. Age at cessation of menses and reason for cessation of menses (i.e., natural menopause, gynecologic surgery including hysterectomy and/or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy [BSO]) were assessed. Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazards ratios (HR) of cessation of menses (separately for naturally or surgically) associated with trauma alone or PTSD symptoms, relative to no trauma, adjusting for covariates. Trauma/PTSD status was associated with earlier cessation of menses due to surgery, but not natural menopause. Women with trauma exposure, low, and high PTSD symptoms had higher hazard of cessation of menses due to surgery relative to those with no trauma exposure (HR Women who experienced trauma and PTSD may be at elevated risk for common gynecological surgeries premenopausally, potentially due to increased clinical indications or gynecological conditions.

BACKGROUND
Earlier menopause, either natural or through gynecologic surgeries, has been associated with various negative health sequelae. While posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been linked to dysregulated biological processes, including reproductive system changes that could alter menopausal timing, little work has examined whether trauma and PTSD are associated with greater risk of early cessation of menses.
METHODS
Data are from 46,639 women in the Nurses' Health Study II, a prospective cohort study of women followed for up to 26 years. Lifetime trauma and PTSD symptoms were assessed with the Brief Trauma Questionnaire and a PTSD symptom screener in 2008. Age at cessation of menses and reason for cessation of menses (i.e., natural menopause, gynecologic surgery including hysterectomy and/or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy [BSO]) were assessed. Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazards ratios (HR) of cessation of menses (separately for naturally or surgically) associated with trauma alone or PTSD symptoms, relative to no trauma, adjusting for covariates.
RESULTS
Trauma/PTSD status was associated with earlier cessation of menses due to surgery, but not natural menopause. Women with trauma exposure, low, and high PTSD symptoms had higher hazard of cessation of menses due to surgery relative to those with no trauma exposure (HR
CONCLUSIONS
Women who experienced trauma and PTSD may be at elevated risk for common gynecological surgeries premenopausally, potentially due to increased clinical indications or gynecological conditions.
