Healio (10/26, VanDewater) reports, “Midlife women with a history of infertility or involuntary childlessness had more depressive symptoms, particularly before menopause, and anxiety after menopause, compared with women without infertility,” according to researchers who “analyzed 16 years of follow-up data from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN).” The study findings were presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Scientific Congress & Expo.
MedPage Today (10/26, D’Ambrosio) reports the findings also showed “a history of infertility or involuntary childlessness was not associated with increased vasomotor or vaginal symptoms during the menopausal transition.”
