Why does endometriosis occur?

Patient's question:

This week, I've been experiencing abdominal pain, but I didn't pay much attention. However, over the past two days, I went to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound. The doctor said it was endometriosis. What are the treatments for endometriosis?

Doctor's answer:

But it is still dominated by theories such as retrograde menstruation, implantation, and endometrial metaplasia of the body cavity, and is directly related to current cesarean sections, induced abortions, abdominal surgeries, intergenerational genetic factors, as well as intense sports or heavy physical labor during menstruation. For example, if an induced abortion is not performed cleanly, it can also lead to endometriosis. If it is scraped too hard or too deep, it is easy to get adenomyosis. The cells inside the uterine muscle layer form gaps within the uterine muscle, and these gaps can allow the endometrium to escape.
