Patient's question:
I am already 43 years old this year. At this age, do I still need to use contraception when having sex with my husband? If I don't use contraception, will I still get pregnant? Can I still give birth at such an age?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 43, as long as you still have normal monthly periods and have not yet entered menopause, you need to take contraceptive measures if you have sexual intercourse and want to avoid pregnancy. It's not true that older women can absolutely not get pregnant. As long as your ovaries still have the function of ovulation, there is a possibility of getting pregnant. If you don't want to get pregnant, it is still recommended to take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse to reduce the chance of childbirth.
