Frequently asked questions

How common is recurrence of endometriosis after having a hysterectomy/menopause?

This is not common. It is more likely after hysterectomy if the ovaries have been left behind or if there has been some disease left behind. This can happen sometimes because endometriosis surgery can be very difficult. Endometriosis after the menopause is thankfully rare but can occur when HRT is used.
