Menopause in Women with Sickle Cell Disease

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to learn more about the symptoms of menopause in women with sickle cell disease (SCD). We want to learn more about how hydroxyurea, pain, and other SCD-related complications can affect their menopause experience. We hope this study can help us more quickly and easily find out when women with SCD might be experiencing health complications related to menopause.
