Question

All the following occurs during natural menopause except?

• A. Progesterone levels in blood increases
• B. Estrogen levels in blood increases
  
• C. Both A and B
• D. FSH and LH levels in blood increases
  

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both A and B

Menopause is the time when menstrual cycles permanently cease. Symptoms of menopause include irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings. During natural menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels in the blood decrease. However, the levels of FSH and LH in blood increase during this time. High levels of FSH are an indicator of the perimenopause period.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
