While many women with endometriosis suffer debilitating symptoms, others have the disease without knowing it.
Mirena can reduce the symptoms of endometriosis
All women are different. Some women with endometriosis will not have regular periods. However, there are also women with endometriosis that either have irregular periods, or even those that have very regular periods. If you think you may have endometriosis, see your OB GYN.
Endometriosis can impact menopause in various ways. Women with endometriosis may experience different symptoms during menopause, such as increased pelvic pain or changes in hormonal fluctuations, as endometrial tissue may not respond to hormonal changes in the same way as typical endometrial tissue. Additionally, some women may have persistent endometriosis symptoms even after menopause if the endometrial-like tissue does not completely regress. Thus, while menopause typically brings relief from menstrual-related symptoms, those with endometriosis might still face challenges.
Hysterectomy does not guarantee a relief from symptoms or from endometriosis. Surgery is surgeon dependent. If all the endometriosis is not removed as the same time as the removal of your uterus and your ovaries, the patient may still have endometriosis after this procedure.
Yes, a 69-year-old female can have endometriosis, although it is less common after menopause. Endometriosis typically occurs during a woman's reproductive years, but some women may experience symptoms or have undiagnosed endometriosis that persists into later life. Additionally, hormonal treatments or other factors can sometimes reactivate endometriosis symptoms post-menopause. It's important for any woman experiencing unusual pelvic pain to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation.
Yes. Having a child does not protect you from endometriosis. While having endometriosis often makes becoming pregnant difficult for women, becoming pregnant will also reduce the symptoms of endometriosis. So, being diagnosed with endometriosis after having a child makes it rather difficult for your doctor to determine whether you had endometriosis prior to the pregnancy or if it became an issue post-pregnancy - especially if you were positively diagnosed with endometriosis shortly after giving birth.
Yes. Heavy bleeding is just one of many signs or symptoms of endometriosis. Actually, many women with endometriosis have none of the usual symptoms and would never know it without an exploratory surgery (or if the doctor noticed it during caesarian delivery), because endometriosis doesn't appear on ultrasounds, blood tests, MRI, or XRay.

If the woman is 65, she has had endometriosis for decades. At 65, she would be post menopausal. Endometriosis symptoms flare up with normal monthly cycles in women. If she no longer has normal cycles - and at 65 she shouldn't - why do anything at all? The time to treat endometriosis has passed by that age.
Yes It can hide the signs. I know a few people that have endometriosis and they went on the pill so that they could stop some of the symptoms. A Personal response Well I was put on 'the pill' to help control my endometriosis. It provided a regular cycle and reduced the pain and illness I had every month. So in that sense, I guess yes it would hide the symptoms. So you should find the TCM therapy - fuyan pill to cure it thoroughly, and this pill is herbal, it can't bring any damage to your body. A laprocopy is what determined/diagnosed me as it shows all the scar tissue caused by endometriosis.
