Can women still get pregnant after menopause?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I still get pregnant after menopause?

Doctor's answer:

When a woman goes through menopause, it indicates that her ovarian function has completely declined. At this point, she will no longer produce developing follicles, so it becomes impossible to conceive. This is because only mature follicles are required, and they must mature to be expelled by the ovaries to secrete estrogen and progesterone, which can maintain the growth of the fertilized egg. Only under such conditions can pregnancy occur. If a woman has already gone through menopause, it means she has lost her fertility.
