What are the causes of Endometriosis?

The exact cause of endometriosis is unknown. Some of the potential reasons include:

Genetic factors: It runs in families and may be inherited in the genes

Menstrual Flow Issues: The most common cause of endometriosis is retrograde menstrual flow.

The majority of the blood exits the body, although some tissue returns to the pelvis through the Fallopian tube.

Immune System Problems: In certain women with compromised immune systems, the immune system may fail to detect and eliminate endometrial tissue developing outside the uterus.

Hormones: Estrogen stimulates endometriosis development.

Surgery: Endometrial tissue may be scooped up and shifted accidentally during Cesarean Sections or Hysterectomies. Endometriosis has been linked to abdominal scarring.
