Re: Can ENDO appear suddenly in your mid 30s?

I was on the pill for 10 years due to excessive bleeding in my teens. At
age 27 I went off of the pill and by age 28 I was diagnosed with Endo.
My current doc told me that being on the pill can mask the symtoms of
Endo. So I imagine the answer to your question is yes, but not 100%.
