TL;DR

Researchers at Oviva Therapeutics have developed an injection that could potentially delay or prevent the onset of menopause by increasing levels of the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), which plays a role in ovulation. The drug, currently being tested in rodents, could extend the time to menopause and potentially boost women's longevity.

This development comes amid a debate on whether menopause should be viewed as a condition to be treated or a natural part of aging.
