I’m curious why women on birth control don’t get menopause later than women who don’t take it.
Doesn’t birth control stop you from ovulating? Does that mean you’re not actually releasing an egg, therefore not running out of them faster?
(Sorry if this sounds really dumb)
In: Biology
Menopause is the result of the follicles in the ovaries no longer consisting of viable cells due to aging, and therefor, no longer developing into mature follicles and releasing progesterone and estrogen. Taking birth control does not extend their life span.
