Aussie study quantifies risk of women with endometriosis going through early menopause
It's the largest research on the type and timing of menopause in women with endometriosis.
GPs have been advised to monitor patients with endometriosis for early menopause with findings showing raised risks of early (between ages 40-44) and premature menopause (before age 40) for these women.
Surgical menopause occurred on average 19 months sooner in women with endometriosis and natural menopause five months earlier, the Australian authors found.
