Predisposing factors for endometriosis:
β’ Hormonal contraceptives: P2/COC: this is also ironic
β’ Low BMI: Thin, underweight women
β’ Experiencing first menstruation at a very early age
β’ Delayed getting pregnant or not getting pregnant
β’ Alcoholism
β’ Smoking/Shisha
β’ Estrogen-mimic diets
Bottom line: Endometriosis is estrogen-dependent.
High levels of circulating estrogen in the body drive the risk of women developing endometriosis, especially in underweight young women.
CHANGE or PERISH.
