Menopause, A Natural Phenomenon By Bobo Bode- Kayode by sammiestar: 9:45am On Jun 25, 2015
Nature has a way of regulating and limiting the
number of offspring a woman can bear in her
lifetime. And this process is known as
MENOPAUSE.

Menopause is a universal and irreversible part of
the overall aging process involving a woman’s
reproductive system, after which she no longer
menstruates. Menopause is a natural process
that every woman goes through and every
woman’s experience of the menopause is
different.

Perimenopause refers to the time before
menopause when physical changes , and
irregular menses often commence.

Perimenopause can start 5-10 years or more
before menopause. Menopause, by definition,
begins 12 months after the final menses and is
characterised by a continuation of noticeable
symptoms and by urogenital symptoms such as
vaginal dryness and dyspareunia. A woman “in
menopause “or “going through menopause “is
actually describing the period before the actual
menopause, or a period of Transition.

It is the point in time when a woman reaches 12
consecutive months without having a menstrual
period. If you’re like many women, you may
assume that menopause is the end of fertility
and that, without a period, you couldn’t possibly
become pregnant. While both are mostly true,
it’s important to know that the term menopause
might be somewhat misleading.

Pregnancy just before menopause:

Perimenopause can last as long as six or more
years in some women. It begins with the onset
of menstrual cycle changes and other
menopause related changes, usually in a
woman’s mid-40s, and extends into menopause
(the last menstrual period), which typically
occurs about age 51.

So, yes, while menopause does mark the
permanent end to your fertility, until you’ve truly
reached it, there’s still a chance you can
conceive. While it is definitely possible to get
pregnant in perimenopause, it’s less likely than
in earlier years. Fertility declines significantly in
a woman’s mid- to late 30s, that is 10 to 15
years before the average age of menopause,
which generally occurs in a woman’s early 50s.

Menopause and fertility. —

If you are like many women, you may assume
that menopause is the end of fertility and that,
without a period, you couldn’t possibly become
pregnant. While both are mostly true, it’s
important to know that the term menopause
might be misleading.

Can You Get Pregnant?

It’s also harder to get pregnant during the
perimenopausal transition,. Women are born
with 1 to 2 million eggs, and as menopause
nears, only about 100 eggs remain. The
declining number and quality of these eggs, as
well as age-related uterine changes, contribute
to reduce fertility, perhaps even before signs of
perimenopause are noticeable.

But even if you’ve missed your period for a few
months and have lots of menopausal symptoms,
you should be aware that you are not completely
protected from an unplanned pregnancy until
you’ve officially reached menopause.


Caution ! pregnancy can occur:

Every once in a while a woman in her late 50s
makes headline news for having a baby. You
may find yourself wondering if it’s at all
possible to get pregnant postmenopausal. Yes,
you can, but it won’t happen naturally. After
menopause, the only way a woman can get....
