Do ovaries still function after menopause?

The so-called menopause actually means that the ovarian secretion has no function. Therefore, after menopause, the ovaries no longer have the function of secreting hormones, and the ovaries and uterus will gradually shrink. For women after menopause, because the uterus and ovaries no longer secrete hormones, the uterine wall will not shed regularly, and menstruation will not come, which is called menopause. For postmenopausal women, the decrease in growth hormone may cause menopausal syndrome in menopausal women. For example, temper tantrums, insomnia, irritability, irritability, and sweating and night sweats are all normal manifestations of menopause. As long as you relax and adjust your mentality, you can deal with them normally.

Ten years after menopause, the uterus and ovaries have basically lost their functions and effects. The uterus and ovaries are the main internal reproductive organs of women. The main functions of the uterus and ovaries are ovulation and the secretion of hormones. Ovulation refers to the time when a woman's uterus and ovaries release eggs in each menstrual cycle. If a woman has sex, the sperm and egg may be fertilized, and after fertilization, a fetus can be nurtured. The uterus and ovaries are the most basic conditions for a woman to have fertility. The most important thing for the uterus and ovaries is to metabolize female hormones and estrogen. Estrogen is the most important hormone for maintaining women's secondary sexual characteristics. After menopause, the ovaries have already declined significantly, and 10 years after menopause, the ovaries have basically completely declined. The uterus and ovaries no longer metabolize estrogen, so the uterus and ovaries do not have much function.

It is not about how long after menopause the uterus and ovaries stop functioning, but that menopause occurs because the uterus and ovaries have already stopped functioning. Most women will experience menopause around the age of 45-55, which means that the ovaries have already declined at this time, resulting in the relative clinical manifestations.

From the beginning of puberty until menopause, women's ovaries will release about 400 eggs. When these 400 eggs are completely discharged, the ovaries are in a relatively scarce state, the ovaries have already declined, and it is no longer possible to regularly secrete estrogen and estrogens. The uterine wall will no longer undergo regular changes to produce menstruation, and corresponding menopausal symptoms will appear. About one year after menopause, the urinary system will shrink, the uterus and cervix will become smaller. In addition, the mucous membrane inside the vagina will soften, and the uterus and ovaries will become smaller and harder.
