What are the Causes of Endometriosis?
- Retrograde menstruation- In this, the menstrual blood containing endometrial cells flows back into the pelvic cavity.
- Transformation of peritoneal cells- Hormones or immune factors promote the change of peritoneal cells into cells similar to endometrial cells.
- Surgical scar implantation- After a surgery, such as a hysterectomy or C- section, endometrial cells may attach to a surgical incision causing an Endometrial implant.
- Endometrial cell transport- The lymphatic system may transport endometrial cells to other parts of the body, causing an Endometrial implant.
