No: Myth. Endometriosis does not discriminate race or education level.

No, but a mentor of : Mine would tell me yes because being pregnant a lot would prevent cycles and therefore reduce one's likelihood of developing the disease and/or having pain...Endometriosis remains an enigma. Again, female age continues to play a role in infertility. Women who delay childbearing should know that getting pregnant at age 33 is easier than age 37, while 37 is easier than 42.
