More often endometriosis develops in women who have not yet emerged from reproductive age - up to 44 years.

And infertile - more often - up to 40%. Nevertheless, endometriosis can develop in adolescent girls.

Endometriosis: Causes
Modern physicians explain the development of endometriosis with genetic prerequisites, as well as the hormonal nature of this ailment. According to the hormonal theory of the development of the disease, its origin is associated with a violation of the hormonal background in the female body.
This theory is confirmed by changes in endometriosis foci during the entire menstrual period, as well as the reverse course of the disease in pregnancy and menopause.
There is also an implantation theory. It assumes that particles that are rejected by the endometrium in any situations, such as abortions, traumatic births, bloodshed during menstruation in the tubes from the uterus during spastic contractions (in other words, during pain during critical days), settle on the surface of the ovaries , in the pipes, in the peritoneum, which is the prerequisite for the development of the disease.
But much more important are the negative changes in the neuroendocrine system, due to stressful situations, unbalanced nutrition, somatic diseases of the general plan, dysfunctions of the glands of internal secretion, as well as infections in the genital cavity.
There are 4 degrees of depth of penetration in the diffusion of diffuse forms of uterine endometriosis.
Degree 1: at this degree, endometriosis sprouts into a shallow depth.
Degree 2: the propagation process reaches the middle of the total thickness of the myometrium.
Degree 3: the entire wall of the uterus is involved in the pathological process.
Degree 4: adjacent organs and parietal peritoneum are involved in the pathological process.
