Can women in menopause get pregnant and give birth?

Patient's question:

My aunt is already 50 years old this year. She should have entered menopause, but at this year's family gathering, she actually said she still wants to have another child. Let alone the risks of pregnancy for older women, at her age, she should be impossible to get pregnant again. Can women in menopause still get pregnant and give birth?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a woman in her 50s, at this stage, she has indeed entered menopause. If she wants to have another child, the risks are indeed very high. This age is not suitable for getting pregnant again. However, if she really wants a child, given the current medical conditions, it is still possible. In this case, to get pregnant, she would need to go to the hospital for in vitro fertilization, but the success rate is not very high.
