Predicting Menopause: How Ultrasound Technology Can Help Women Plan Their Family

Researchers at Saint Andrews University have developed a method to predict when a woman will reach menopause by using ultrasound to examine her ovaries. This technique estimates the number of eggs present and uses a mathematical formula to gauge fertility levels, helping to pinpoint menopause onset. The number of eggs declines over time, with a significant drop after age 37. This discovery is particularly valuable for women at risk of premature menopause, allowing them to make informed family planning decisions.
