Breaking the Myth of Motherhood After Menopause
Many women believe that menopause marks the end of their ability to conceive. However, renowned gynaecologist and IVF specialist Dr. Richa Gangwar dispels this misconception, stating that In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology has made it possible for post-menopausal women to experience the joy of motherhood.
How IVF Works for Post-Menopausal Women
Dr. Richa explains that IVF involves fertilizing an egg outside the body and then implanting the embryo into the uterus. For women who have reached menopause, donor eggs or frozen eggs can be used, and hormonal treatments help prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
Who Can Benefit?
According to Dr. Richa, IVF can be a suitable option for:
- Women experiencing early menopause.
- Women who delayed pregnancy due to career or personal reasons.
- Women with medical conditions that impacted fertility.
Clearing Misconceptions About IVF
There are several myths and fears surrounding IVF, such as concerns about health risks, side effects, and success rates. Dr. Richa emphasizes that IVF is a safe and scientifically-backed procedure, provided it is conducted under expert supervision with thorough medical evaluations.
A New Dawn for Aspiring Mothers
Dr. Richa Gangwar encourages women to explore modern reproductive options without fear. She stresses that informed decision-making and proper medical consultation can open doors to parenthood even after menopause.
