Ms Ilanna Darcy:

Again, it probably varies. In my case the endometriosis was diagnosed and I was one of the lucky ones who went on to have a child despite IVF not working. When I hit perimenopause, however, it felt like a slap in the face again. It came back and I developed adenomyosis and, suddenly, separate symptoms, all related, and separate issues. I would therefore say from my experience to date that no, it does not get better as one gets older. In my case, no.
