Doctors Develop Procedures That Could Delay Menopause For 20 Years by ikorodureporta: 5:53am On Aug 06, 2019
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) experts in Britain have developed a surgical procedure that could postpone the onset of menopause for up to 20 years.

The procedure advances by removing a small piece of the patients’ ovarian tissue which is then sliced up and frozen for the purpose of preservation and later implantation.

On reaching the ideal age for menopause, the frozen tissue is thawed out and grafted back into the body, thereby restoring the woman’s declining sex hormones; halting menopause; and also putting off adverse health conditions.

The surgery is now being offered to women who are up to the age of 40 by ProFam, a Birmingham-based company, at a cost ranging between £7,000 and £11,000.

Simon Fishel, the founder of ProFam and president of the UK Care Fertility Group, said the surgery is capable of putting off anxiety, insomnia, reduced sex drive, and other health conditions that presage the reproductive stage.

“This has the potential to be of significant benefit to any woman who may want to delay the menopause for any reason, or those women who would have taken HRT, and there are lots of benefits around that,” Fishel to The Guardian.

While similar procedures have been adopted with cancer patients, the specialists said it would benefit women who experience adverse heart conditions, bone-weakening osteoporosis, and other serious menopause-triggered conditions.

According to them, a total of nine women have so far undergone the procedure and would have their tissues replaced in the coming decades, provided the tissues survive the process.

The length of time for which the procedure would put off menopause, the specialists stated, would depend on the age at which the surgery was performed but that could last up to 20 years for women of age 25.

“This is the first project in the world to provide healthy women ovarian tissue cryopreservation purely to delay the menopause,” Yousri Afifin, ProFam’s chief medical officer, told The Sunday Times.

and what do you think the drugs would be working on while delaying it? and mind you it's just the menopause, a woman's body is still as active as a man's, if not even more.

all these dum-dums on my mention...lol
nobody likes anybody unless there is something to gain whether old man or woman no young person wants you unless they stand something to benefit. and nobody is afraid of menopause not now that you can have your kids while waiting for the right man....smiley

A woman's body may still be active but her beauty is fading, she can't attract young men.

Fake specie always finding new ways to mess up God's arrangement.
Soon, your granchild will be older than your mother's last child if this succeeds and all sorts of weird relationships will begin to form.

Some people think a nuclear apocalypse will end the world... how wrong that view is.

My Muslim Brothers and Sisters.

Ileya is coming and I am sure you would like to go home for EID.

Why dont you change your beddings for chikini money?

You can also gift grandma and grandpa as gift. I am sure they would like it.

Location: Lagos.
Price varies but can be as low as 3,000 with pillow cases for bedsheets.

Happy EID Celebration in advance.
