[Pregnancy after diagnosis of menopause]

Menopause is a probability diagnosis. Menopause does not mean permanent infertility, particularly in the case of premature menopause. We have realised a national enquiry in order to precise the pregnancy phenomenon after diagnosis of menopause. We found 116 pregnancy cases, which occurred 2.4 years (average) after menopause diagnosis. Pregnancies occur more often in the case of premature menopause and seem to be favoured by hormonal replacement therapy.
