What is menopause and when does it happen?

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life that marks the end of her menstrual cycles. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although some women experience it earlier or later. Menopause is diagnosed when a woman has gone without a period for 12 consecutive months, and it signals that the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs and producing the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes can lead to various physical and emotional symptoms, which can affect everyday life.

The effects of PCOS on fertility

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic hormonal disorder that is caused by the ovaries having an imbalance in hormone production. It is not an incredibly rare condition, as it is estimated that 13% of people of reproductive age have it, with a further estimated 70% of them remaining undiagnosed. It cannot be permanently cured, and those who have PCOS may face difficulties with their fertility, but it can be managed and pregnancy is still possible.
