Experts from the UK have established a clear link between the time of onset of menopause with the size of the ovaries and the number of follicles in them. Hamish Wallace and Thomas Kelsey suggested taking into account the "chronological" and "reproductive" age of a woman and the volume of her ovaries, calculated by an ultrasound examination.

"We will be able to tell you how quickly the woman's biological clock goes and how long before they are taken ...

" From the age of 37, a rapid decrease in the number of follicles in the ovary begins, with the age of menopause usually around 1000. Therefore, the age at onset of menopause depends on the number of follicles that the woman had at the time of her birth.

And the size of the ovaries is directly related to the number of follicles. Scientists are working towards the creation of such a model, but they need more research to establish the accuracy of this technique.
