Patient's question:
Last year, my menstrual flow began to decrease significantly, and sometimes I didn't have a period for a month. Can I get pregnant with amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your questions. A 45-year-old woman has experienced a decrease in menstrual flow again since last year, and now she has developed amenorrhea, indicating that she has entered menopause. This is likely a natural sign of aging. If she has already experienced amenorrhea, it means her ovaries are no longer functioning, and without follicles, it is naturally impossible to form a fertilized egg. Therefore, there is no possibility of pregnancy. However, in this state of incomplete menopause, there may occasionally be a recurrence of menstrual cycles. So, if she is not breastfeeding and has sexual intercourse without using contraception, there is a risk of an accidental pregnancy.
