of women of reproductive age are affected by endometriosis

During perimenopause, oestrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate and gradually decline. As endometriosis is an oestrogen-sensitive disease, these hormonal fluctuations can cause periodic worsening of endometriosis symptoms. Endometriosis is generally considered a premenopausal condition, with symptoms often improving during menopause as a result of declining oestrogen levels. However, approximately 2%–4% of postmenopausal women may still experience endometriosis symptoms.

Fibroids most commonly develop in women between the ages of 30 and 50 years. After menopause, fibroids tend to become smaller due to diminishing oestrogen and progesterone supplies in the body. For patients on HRT, fibroids are less likely to shrink.

Our menopause doctors who specialise in endometriosis and fibroids help build personalised treatment plans that work for you.
