Endometriosis typically presents in women under what age?

• A. Under 35
• B. Over 50
• C. 40-45
• D. 60-70

Answer: (A)

Endometriosis is driven by estrogen and most often arises during the reproductive years, when menstruation and hormonal cycling are ongoing. Because many symptoms begin in teens or early adulthood and persist into the 20s and 30s, it commonly presents before age 35. After menopause, estrogen levels fall and the condition tends to improve, making new presentations after about age 50 unlikely. Among the options, presenting under 35 best reflects the typical pattern.
