Menopausal women are at risk of ectopic pregnancy if they do not pay attention to contraception

If menopausal women do not use contraception, there is a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy. Female menopause refers to the period from a few months before menstruation completely stops to several years after menopause. Generally, menopausal women refer to people aged 45 to 55. Generally, after women enter menopause, their menstruation begins to change, and they become irregular until their menstruation stops completely. During this period, women's fertility gradually disappears, and their sexual ability decreases. Therefore, they begin to question whether it is necessary to continue to take contraceptive measures. Some people even simply stop using contraception, which often results in an unexpected pregnancy. In fact, contraception is necessary for menopausal women. If they do not use contraception, they may still become pregnant, and there is a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Because from the perspective of women's physiological process, the reproductive function of menopausal women does not stop suddenly, but is a gradual decline. During this process, the ovarian function gradually declines, and the external manifestation is the change in menstruation, which may be manifested as irregular menstruation or infrequent menstruation, until complete menopause.

It can be seen that although menopausal women have irregular menstruation and less menstrual flow, their ovarian function has not completely disappeared and they still have irregular ovulation. As long as mature follicles are released, there is a possibility of pregnancy. At this time, the transport function of the fallopian tubes of women is significantly reduced, which increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, we remind the majority of menopausal couples to continue to take effective contraceptive measures until women are completely menopausal to avoid unnecessary harm to women.
