Women with PCOS have a later menopausal transition and a lower prevalence of menopausal symptoms at age 46: A population‐based birth cohort study

Key Points

The aim is to examine the menopausal transition and symptoms in women with PCOS at age 46.
Analyzed nonselective population data
Focused on menopausal status and symptoms
Assessed prevalence in women with PCOS
Women with PCOS showed a later menopausal transition.
Menopausal symptoms were less frequent in those with PCOS.
Findings support sustained ovarian function in women with PCOS.

Abstract

From the nonselective population data, it was shown that late peri-/postmenopausal status and symptoms were less frequent in women with PCOS at age 46, supporting the idea of prolonged ovarian function in affected women. This should be considered in patient counseling and future studies of fertility, contraception, and menopausal hormone therapy.
