Endometriosis typically occurs in reproductive-aged women but may persist post-menopause due to estrogen replacement therapy or obesity-induced endogenous estrogen.

Abstract

Because ovarian function is necessary for the development and maintenance endometrial implants, endometriosis has been reported only in the reproductive ages and so, is normally not seen before age 15 or after menopause. Endometriosis is most common in women between the ages of 25 and 35. However, after menopause, there are two factors which may promote or maintain endometriosis. One is the use of estrogen replacement therapy and the other is the presence of high endogenous estrogen in obese patients.
