The study, by scientists from the University of Exeter and the Institute of Cancer Research, found that four genes working in combination appear to significantly raise the risk of early menopause.

The findings could eventually help identify women at...

2010-04-16T17:25:15Z

Women are much better at spotting a cute baby than men, according to university research out Wednesday.

Psychologists at the University of St Andrews in Scotland used computer image manipulation to produce subtle variations in baby faces.

Scant evidence herbal remedies ease menopause: study

2010-06-30T15:11:26Z

Menopause eases sex rivalry between women: study

2010-04-16T14:29:28Z

Hormonal changes caused by menopause soften the biologically-driven rivalry between women for healthy and virile male partners, according to a study published Wednesday.

Scientists showed that menopause alters the way women judge attractiveness in younger members of the same sex, resulting in a greater preference for feminine facial characteristics.

Previous studies have shown that fertile women -- especially around the time of ovulation -- are more likely to downgrade the go...

'Road map' test can predict when the menopause will start

2010-04-16T15:00:12Z

A test to predict when a woman will go through the menopause has been developed by scientists who believe it will provide a 'road map' of fertility for older would-be mothers.

The breakthrough will also help women prepare mentally for losing their fertility and allow those in their late 30s and 40s who are considering trying for a baby pinpoint just how long they have left to conceive.

One of the country's leading experts in fertility and women's health last night welcomed th...

The Erotic Challenge for Baby Boomer Women

2010-10-14T06:22:15Z

Female baby boomers are well into menopause ? and beyond; part of a giant wave of grey (even though the grey has been tinted somewhat).

You would think this generation of women, teenagers of the 1960s en route to their 60s, the so-called "liberation" generation, daughters of Woodstock, drivers of modern feminism, would have an original attitude to sexuality as they engage the challenges of aging today. In truth, in general, they don't!
