7 major causes of endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease. Many women do not pay attention to period symptoms, and do not know the causes of endometriosis. Generally, if you have symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, pain during sexual intercourse, and heavy stools, you should be alert to whether you have endometriosis. What are the specific causes of endometriosis?

1. Surgery within the uterine cavity

In particular, some operations that can increase the pressure in the uterine cavity, such as artificial abortion, ventilation and fluid perfusion of the fallopian tubes, and angiography (angiography is a commonly used X-ray examination method. For structures or organs that are difficult to contrast, substances with higher or lower density than the structure or organ can be introduced into the organ or the space around it to produce contrast and development), etc., may press the endometrium into the pelvic cavity.

2. Personal illness

Certain congenital defects, acquired injuries or diseases may cause reproductive tract obstruction, resulting in the backflow of menstrual blood into the pelvic cavity, such as imperforate hymen, vaginal adhesions, occlusions, cervical adhesions and occlusions, etc.

3. Ignoring menstrual hygiene

During menstruation, the pelvic cavity becomes congested, the uterus becomes sensitive, and the frequency and intensity of contractions increase. If you do not pay attention to emotional regulation, you may become overly excited, nervous, irritable, anxious, fearful, overworked, do strenuous exercise, or have sudden changes in body position, especially if you do not avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

4. Abnormal position of the uterus

The normal position of the uterus is forward tilted and flexed to facilitate the outflow of menstrual blood. If the uterus is retroverted or flexed, especially in severe cases, it can easily cause menstrual blood to flow out poorly, accumulate in the uterine cavity, increase the pressure in the uterine cavity, and create conditions for menstrual blood to flow back into the abdominal cavity.

5. Caesarean section

Endometrial tissue may remain at the surgical incision and in various parts of the pelvis and abdominal cavity along with the amniotic fluid. Once the time is right, the endometrium will grow.

6. Backflow of menstrual blood

Due to menstrual backflow and vaginal occlusion and adhesion, the endometrial tissue cannot be discharged smoothly with the menstrual blood, so it has to flow back through the fallopian tube to the pelvic and abdominal cavities.

7. Multiple production

After multiple births, the damage to the endometrial layer allows the endometrial tissue to reach the myometrium, facilitating the formation of a special type of endometriosis - adenomyosis.
