Overview
Risk factors predisposing women to the development of endometriosis include early age at menarche, nulliparity, positive family history, and the presence of congenital cervical stenosis or obstructive lesions in the uterovaginal tract.
Risk Factors
The risk factors predisposing women to develop endometriosis include the following:[1][2]
- Presence of cervical stenosis and other congenital outflow obstructions (leads to the retrograde efflux of the menstrual fluid into the fallopian tubes and peritoneal cavity)
- Caffeine or alcohol use
- First-degree family relative with endometriosis[3]
- Nulliparity
- Menarche at less than 11 years of age
- Short menstrual cycle length
- Tall stature
