What are the causes of endometriosis?

Endometriosis not only threatens women's physical health, but also causes certain mental torture to women, so it is necessary to recognize this disease as early as possible. Experts point out that before treating this disease, the cause of endometriosis must be grasped first, so as to help everyone actively recover their health.

1. Intrinsic endometriosis The endometrium grows from the base to the myometrium and is confined to the uterus, so it is also called adenomyosis. Ectopic endometrium often diffuses throughout the uterine muscle wall. The invasion of the endometrium causes reactive hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and muscle fibers, causing the uterus to swell uniformly, but rarely exceeds the size of a full-term fetus' head.

2. Interstitial endometriosis is a special type of intrinsic endometriosis, which is less common. That is, the ectopic endometrium only has endometrial stromal tissue, or the range and degree of development of the stromal tissue after the endometrium invades the myometrium far exceeds the glandular components.

3. Extrinsic endometriosis: The endometrium invades tissues outside the uterus (including ectopic endometrium that invades the uterine serosa from the pelvic cavity) or organs, often involving multiple organs or tissues.

Regarding the cause of endometriosis, we must actively grasp it. Only by grasping the cause of endometriosis can we help everyone come up with accurate treatment methods, and then help everyone actively recover their health.
