Can 69 year old female have endometriosis?
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.
What are the common symptoms and treatment options for an endometriosis tumor?
Common symptoms of an endometriosis tumor include pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, and infertility. Treatment options may include pain medication, hormone therapy, surgery to remove the tumor, or in severe cases, a hysterectomy. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
Do you have periods if you have 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.
Can endometriosis affect menopause?
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.
Does having a particle hysterectomy get rid of endomentrosis?
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.
Could you have endometriosis if you already have a child?
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.
What are the common causes and symptoms of menstrual tissue discharge?
Common causes of menstrual tissue discharge include hormonal changes, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and infections. Symptoms may include heavy bleeding, cramping, pelvic pain, and irregular periods. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Can endometriosis spread to other organs?
Yes. The most common areas for endometriosis adhesions are in the abdominopelvic cavity, but there have been documented cases of endometriosis appearing on the lungs and even in the mucous membranes of the nose!
Can you have endometriosis without heavy bleeding?
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 you have concerns about it, consult your prescribing doctor.
