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 triggered by age and a decrease in hormone production by the ovaries, not by the eggs themselves. Birth control can help with symptoms of menopause but doesn’t stop or prevent it from happening
