Patient's question:
These past few months, my menstrual cycle has been irregular, and besides the abdominal pain, a thorough examination revealed endometriosis. What are the causes of endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
This disease is a benign condition and generally does not pose a life-threatening risk. The cause of this disease is mostly due to retrograde menstruation, which is triggered by a comprehensive examination of the underlying etiology involving the implantation of the endometrium. Additionally, menstrual disorders, gynecological diseases, uterine malposition, and abnormalities of the reproductive organs may also lead to the recurrent occurrence of endometriosis. Timely treatment is necessary.
