There are several things that have said to be the cause of endometriosis. Although endometriosis can occur at pretty much any time in a woman's reproductive life, the most common ages are from twenty five to twenty nine. Some studies show that it is thought to be a hereditary factor. When a woman is exposed to increased menstruation, her possibility of developing endometriosis is higher. Also, a woman who experienced long and heavy menstrual periods before having children might be more susceptible to endometriosis. Obesity is another factor that can affect the possibility of developing the disease

If you are a 65 year old woman with endometriosis what is the best treatment plan and what side effects does it entitle?

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.

Can you contract endometriosis while on the Depo-Provera?

No. Endometriosis is when endometrial tissue spreads outside the uterus and it causes great pain when the woman menstruates, as well as from inflammation in between periods from where the tissue seeded itself. Depo Provera stops endometrial cells from proliferating, so while a woman uses Depo Provera, she will have very little trouble with her endometriosis. Depo Provera stops periods, which is helpful in endometriosis.

How old can you be to get endometriosis?

I'm pretty certain any female who has their period can get endometriosis. "Endometriosis can affect any woman, from premenarche to postmenopause, regardless of her race or ethnicity or whether or not she has had children" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis) If you do think you have it, go see your doctor and they might be able to help you find ways to treat it without having to go to a gynocologist (if you feel you are too young). I think I may have endometriosis , but I'm waiting til I'm 18 to see the gyno so I can work up the courage! But definitely go to the doctor if you have period pain, because they should be able to help with the pain a little bit, if not completely :)
