Endometriosis After Menopause: Understanding the Risks and Symptoms

Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus, causing pain and discomfort, and it can affect women of all ages, including after menopause. Although endometriosis symptoms can decrease after menopause, they can also reactivate with rising estrogen levels. Existing endometriosis can persist past menopause, and in some cases, it can develop several years after menopause. However, it is difficult to determine whether postmenopausal cases are new or if they were previously undiagnosed.
