Question

Which of the following does not occur after menopause?
A) Menstrual cycles cease.
B) Ovulation ceases.
C) Estrogen levels rise.
D) GnRH secretion increases.
E) FSH secretion increases.

Accepted Answer

After menopause, there is a significant decline in estrogen production, rather than a rise. This is because the ovaries no longer produce large amounts of estrogen as they did during the reproductive years. Instead, the hormone is produced in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands and fat cells. The other options, A, B, D, and E are all accurate changes that occur after menopause.
