Overview
The risk factors predisposing women for the development of endometriosis include early age of menarche, nulliparity, positive family history and 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]
- The 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 cycle length
- Tall Stature
