Patient's question:
Hearing others say that 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 menopausal, the ovaries will not ovulate and pregnancy cannot occur. During the transition period from perimenopause to menopause, 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 as there are ovulations during this period. If pregnancy does not occur, it is still recommended to use contraceptive measures and seek timely medical treatment.
