Menopause after desogesterol endo and adenomyosis
« on: October 23, 2025, 09:00:22 PM »

Hi I'm new here, and am hoping I'm nearly menopausal, although also a bit nervous!

I have endometriosis and adenomyosis, I took desogesterol for that for a few years and it was a wonderful relief. But I developed an arythmia as a result and had to stop about 12 months ago.  My periods are shorter and less painful, and also not as frequent, so I'm hopeful I will soon be in menopause, because this will finally end all the pain. I'm 52, but my only other symptom is less libido.

But. I'm also worried that decreasing estrogen will be like desogesterol, and make the arythmia worse again. And if it does, I don't know if I will be able to take hrt because of the endo...

I would really welcome any information from women who have been on a similar journey? Thanks so much.

Happy to provide more details, but didn't want to write an essay and look like I expected you all to read it!
