good luck, actually your e-mail address IS posted! check above
women tend to have hysts after the age of 40 partly because of children,
but also because they start having hormonal problems...most women's
progesterone levels go down after the age of 35, and their estrogen
levels go up...leading to bleeding problems, fibroids, more endo and
adeno problems
again, for others, hysts do NOT remove endo
many women who make it to menopause without a hyst find that many
problems DO go away
