Hello,

Can understand the level of frustration you have. because you are nearing menopause, the symptoms will fluctuate for some more months.

Once you have menopause, endometriosis will get settled on its own. If you have the patience, better to wait until menopause.

If you remove ovaries, you will start getting symptoms of menopause and also not going to be good for your bones.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Rini Kuruvilla, General & Family Physician
