According to a research done on almost 700 women that was published on August 1 in the journal of The Menopause Society says that infertility may have an impact on women's health later in life, including the severity of their menopause symptoms.

According to the research depressive mood, irritability, and sleep issues were among the categories of individual symptoms that had higher reporting or severity among women experiencing infertility.

"Not all women go through menopause in the same way.

Numerous behavioral, biological, social, psychological, and demographic factors influence the severity of menopause symptoms. It's important to keep in mind that additional research is required to properly comprehend the intricate connection between menopausal symptoms and infertility. Genetics, underlying illnesses, and individual variations in hormone reactions are a few more variables that could be responsible," says Dr. Shobha Gupta, Medical Director and Infertility Specialist from Mother's Lap IVF Centre, New Delhi and Founder Mumma's Blessing IVF and Birthing Paradise in Vrindavan.
