Patient's question:
Alright, here is the translation, following your instructions:Okay, I heard from older sisters in the past that once a woman goes through menopause, she can never get pregnant again. So, I felt really relieved, thinking that from now on, I wouldn't have to argue with my old man about contraception during anymore. But yesterday, while reading a women's magazine, I came across an article saying there's still a chance for women in their 60s to get pregnant. It really scared me! I'm sure 60 is definitely past menopause too.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, most women believe that they cannot get pregnant after menopause. In fact, in the several years before menopause, including within one year after menopause, there is still a possibility of pregnancy. Therefore, women in menopause should still take contraceptive measures.After menopause, ovarian function declines, and the amount of hormones that control menstruation gradually decreases. When the secretion amount is insufficient to cause cyclic changes in the endometrium, it manifests as menopause. However, within one year after menopause, the ovaries may still release mature eggs. If there is sexual activity without taking contraceptive measures, pregnancy can still occur.
