An operation to delay menopause?

Indeed, the procedure had been presented by British in vitro fertilization specialists and has been performed for young women who suffer from cancer. According to sources, it will soon be available to millions of women to delay menopause and the symptoms that accompany it.

Usually, the intervention is aimed at protecting the fertility of young girls and women who are undergoing cancer treatment. It involves removing part of the ovarian tissue and freezing it in order to reimplant it later, if the woman wants to have children.



Delaying menopause effectively depends mainly on the age at which the ovarian tissue is removed as well as the time of its reimplantation. For example, if you are 25 years old, you can delay symptoms by 20 years while women aged 40- by 5 years only. Doctors re-implant the tissue at the onset of menopause to restore declining hormone levels. So far, eight ladies have undergone this procedure.
