For those with endometriosis, navigating menopause can bring additional questions and considerations. That’s why we’ve created our new Endometriosis and Menopause information booklet. This booklet gives information on the different ways those with endometriosis can fall into menopause. It covers natural menopause, medical menopause, and surgical menopause. It also covers hormone replacement therapy (HRT), non-hormonal treatments and how to look after yourself while navigating endometriosis and the
menopause.
 
This booklet covers information on endometriosis and menopause including:
  • natural, medical and surgical menopause
  • menopause symptoms 
  • hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and considerations for those with endometriosis
  • non-hormonal treatments for menopause symptoms
  • looking after your health and wellbeing during menopause
  • further sources of information and support.
It also explains why experiences can vary and the importance of speaking to your healthcare practitioner about your individual symptoms, circumstances and treatment options.
 
 
If you need support, our nurse-led support line provides expert information and guidance over the phone or via email.
