With Advanced Treatments ‘Menopause’ Will be A thing of the Past: Researcher

Researchers say that  in the next two decades menopause will be a thing of the past.

Many recent clinical trials have remained in the news for being successful in identifying ways to slow down the aging process. Experts say menopause too can be halted with the help of advancements in stem cells and regenerative therapies. The female reproductive organ is similar to other vital organs in the body whose functionings can be restored and recreated, reports the ANI News.

The research team at the Sens Research Foundation in California says new ovaries can be created to replace the aged ovaries using tissue engineering. The organs can be built just like lab grown heart and artificial private parts.

"There are all manner of possibilities. There's work going on already," said Aubrey de Grey, the founder of the Sens Research Foundation in California, reports the Express.Co.UK.

This would mean an end to all menopausal woes like hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue and mood fluctuations.

However, these novel ideas can be executed with proper financial backing and support. But many other scientists and experts in the same field are not so certain if this medical miracle can be easily achieved and found it 'wildly over-ambitious', reports the Express.Co.UK.

"The progress has been very slow. Certainly no one has been able to demonstrate with any robustness that they can generate egg cells from stem cells in culture," said Robin Lovell-Badge, a stem cell expert at the National Institute for Medical Research opposing Grey's idea.

With increase in the number of women across the globe who give birth at a later age, one can still hope for development of new therapies to defer aging of the reproductive system. Hollywood superstars like Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman and Susan Sarandon embraced motherhood in their forties.
