People with endometriosis more likely to experience early menopause, study finds | Endometriosis
A study found that women with endometriosis face a greater risk of early and early menopause and seven times more likely to experience surgical menopause.
Surgical menopause occurs when both ovary are removed before reaching normal menopause, and It can be done to treat endometriosis If other treatments fail.
Endometriosis affects one out of every 10 women of childbearing age and occurs when cells similar to the endometrium grow in other parts of the body, which leads to severe pain, sterility and heavy periods. Endometrium It also affects other people who have a womb and a small number of men.
While endometriosis and treatment can reduce the quality and amount of a woman’s eggs, research on its effect on the timing of menopause was limited.
Posted in Human Reproduction, research Surgical menopause occurred on average 19 months ago in women with endometriosis and normal menopause five months ago.

The study analyzed data from 279,048 women, of whom 10,367 (3.7 %) reported the endometrium in five dust studies conducted in the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden and Japan between 1996 and 2022. All studies were part of International Federation for Women’s Health Studies.
The authors indicated that among the participants, they cannot distinguish between sub -species and endometriosis stages or determine whether women have received surgical eradication or removal from endometriosis – cysts that can affect the number of eggs.
Women who were suffering from the uterus were excluded while maintaining their ovarian functions from the analysis, so the nomadic uterus will not explain the natural study that was observed in the study.
The study found the current management instructions for uterine lining, mainly focused on pain, infertility and treatment. menopause It was only mentioned in the context of treating endometriosis in women after menopause.
Chung said that she hopes to improve the evidence of endometrial management instructions, including prevention and strategies for early or medically induced menopause, which was Concerning negative results, including osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
“Women with endometriosis should realize that they may be at risk of increased or induced menopause,” Chung said, adding that these women should visit GP regularly to verify the factors of the risk of chronic diseases and prevention strategies.
Dr. Jino Picocuro, head of the National Association of Obstetricians and Gynecology, said he was not surprised by the results.
“I expect them to show it exactly or even the highest surgical menopause rates for people who suffer poorly with endometrium,” said Picoraro. “It is a condition that responds to hormones. It leads to delusional pain and heavy and painful periods.” PECORARO did not participate in the study.
In a large percentage of cases, lining tumors or “chocolate cysts” – and the process of removing them – often lead to early natural menopause.
Picuerro said if the ovarian gynecologist takes out a younger woman, they must continue her treatment for menopause symptoms, such as hot flows, vaginal dryness and irritation. This included monitoring the bones of women and ensuring high fat (organic compounds).
He said that a variety of modern treatments for menopause do not make endometriosis grow and non -hormonal, and surgeries that attract fertility are also available.
Picooro said that women who are going through menopause – even if they are taking medications for symptoms – should see the doctor at least each one to two years.
