Can a woman get pregnant at the age of fifty?

Patient's question:

After the age of forty-five, menstruation becomes less regular. Sometimes it stops for half a year or more. By the age of fifty, menstruation returns to normal, but the flow is very light. Recently, it suddenly stopped, and I'm worried if I might be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Before menopause, there is indeed a possibility of pregnancy, although it is not very high. If there is sexual activity, it is necessary to do an early pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Another issue to be aware of is that the absence of menstruation does not necessarily indicate pregnancy; it could also be related to menopause. After all, this time is close to menopause. It is recommended to eat more soy products and soy milk regularly, which can help delay menopause. Wishing you good health.
