Patient's question:
Hearing that someone said a 50-year-old postmenopausal woman from the neighboring village is pregnant, can women in this age group still get pregnant after menopause?Doctor's answer:
If completely postmenopausal, the ovaries will not ovulate and pregnancy cannot occur. During the transition period from menopause to postmenopause, ovarian function is still active, and the menstrual cycle will gradually shorten. Although it is not the optimal age for conception, there are still opportunities for pregnancy because ovulation occurs. If pregnancy does not occur, it is still recommended to use contraceptive measures and seek timely medical treatment.
