Research: Ovary remains active after menopause

The study discusses that the ovaries do not enter a state of inactivity after menopause; rather, they remain biologically active for decades, with changes in tissue structure and increased inflammation. The findings suggest a biological link between ovarian aging and the risk of ovarian cancer, as an increase in certain proteins associated with inflammation and aging was observed in older ovaries. The study encourages research into medications that target the aging ovary, aiming to reduce cancer risks without the need to remove healthy ovaries after menopause.
