Yale Research Offers Potential for Delaying, Preventing Menopause

A groundbreaking procedure involving the cryopreservation of ovarian tissue could extend women's fertility and offer health benefits.

Yale's Dr. Kutluk Oktay has developed a method for delaying or potentially preventing menopause by freezing ovarian tissue.
The process involves cryopreserving ovarian tissue containing thousands of eggs, which can later be reimplanted to restore ovarian function.
A new mathematical model predicts the procedure could significantly delay menopause for women under 40, and possibly prevent it for those under 30.
Research suggests delaying menopause could offer health benefits, such as a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, and bone loss.
Further research is needed to fully understand the long-term benefits and risks of this procedure.
