Unfortunately, there’s no cure for endo. And, by definition, endometriosis occurs outside of the uterus. Personally, I’ve had endometriosis and/or adhesions removed from my abdominal wall, around my appendix, and from certain ligaments. Also, while endometriosis symptoms may lessen after menopause, many people continue to have symptoms that occurred before they stopped having their period. There’s also evidence that some people develop symptoms of endo AFTER menopause.
Here’s an article you might find helpful to explain a little more about what we know about endometriosis and menopause: https://endometriosis.net/clinical/menopause
If possible, I’d definitely suggest you see a different doctor about your symptoms. You might want talk with someone who’s knowledgeable about both endometriosis and menopause.
Also, would you mind if I asked what symptoms you’re having the most trouble with? I’d be happy to point you toward any other resources that might help with specific issues! - Keri (patient leader)
