Can I get pregnant when I'm approaching menopause?

Female friends have not yet fully entered menopause and still have irregular ovulation. It is still possible to get pregnant if they choose to have sex at this time. It is recommended that everyone should take contraceptive measures. Women may still get pregnant within one or two years of entering menopause, especially those with irregular menstrual periods. They need to take good contraceptive measures, and they need to understand the symptoms of menopause.

Can I get pregnant if I'm approaching menopause?

Generally, irregular ovulation will occur within one to two years after menopause, and pregnancy is possible. It is recommended to use contraception. Regular urine pregnancy tests and ultrasound examinations are recommended for contraception. The reason why women have menstruation is that the ovaries regularly release eggs every month. If the eggs cannot combine with sperm, they will naturally shrink and decay, and the endometrium will fall off, thus forming menstruation. The chance of women's ovaries releasing eggs after menopause is relatively small.

What are the symptoms of premenopause?

(1) Prolonged menstrual period

Before menopause, the menstrual cycle will gradually lengthen or become irregular, and intermittent amenorrhea will occur. The time interval between two menstruations will become longer and longer, from the normal 20 to 30 days to two to three months, or even longer, until finally menstruation stops.

(2) Hot flashes

Hot flashes are the most common symptom in premenopausal women. Hot flashes are a sudden, temporary feeling of a flow of heat throughout the body, especially in the chest, face and head, accompanied by flushing of the face, followed by sweating and chills.

(3) Changes in the urinary and reproductive system

The vulva skin becomes dry and wrinkled, the subcutaneous fat becomes thinner, the vagina becomes dry, the wrinkled walls become flattened, and the elasticity decreases, often causing pain during sexual intercourse; the breasts become atrophic and sagging. The urethra is shortened, the mucosa becomes thinner, the sphincter is relaxed, urinary incontinence often occurs, and recurrent bladder inflammation is prone to occur.

When a woman is about to reach menopause, it means that she still has the possibility of ovulation. As long as there is a possibility of ovulation, there is a chance of pregnancy if she has sex. Although the chance of pregnancy is relatively low, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Women will experience many discomfort symptoms after menopause. At this time, family members must understand, care and comfort them.
