RISK FACTORS FOR
ENDOMETRIOSIS
Francisco Garcini
Introduction
 Board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics
and Gynecology, Dr. Francisco Garcini has
considerable surgical expertise in treating conditions
of the female reproductive system. Dr. Francisco
Garcini has successfully resected endometriosis in
many patients afflicted with this disease.
This disorder involves the endometrium, the lining
inside the uterus that regenerates monthly, and is
shed and bleeds during the menstrual cycle.
Sometimes endometrial cells grow outside the uterus,
on the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or other tissues of the
pelvis. This out-of-place tissue causes pain when it
sheds and bleeds in response to the menstrual cycle.
Endometriosis
 Factors that increase the risk of having endometriosis
are not well understood. Women who began having
periods early in life are at risk, as are those
experiencing menstruation longer than 7 days or
menstrual cycles shorter than 27 days. In addition,
having menopause later than usual and the presence
of higher-than-usual levels of estrogen could be
related. Such conditions as an abnormal uterus or
blockages of the usual menstrual discharge also may
raise the chances.
The condition may have a genetic link, thus presence
of endometriosis in sisters, mothers, or aunts could
increase risk. Researchers also have identified a low
body mass index as a possible risk factor.

Risk Factors for Endometriosis

  • 2. Introduction  Board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Francisco Garcini has considerable surgical expertise in treating conditions of the female reproductive system. Dr. Francisco Garcini has successfully resected endometriosis in many patients afflicted with this disease. This disorder involves the endometrium, the lining inside the uterus that regenerates monthly, and is shed and bleeds during the menstrual cycle. Sometimes endometrial cells grow outside the uterus, on the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or other tissues of the pelvis. This out-of-place tissue causes pain when it sheds and bleeds in response to the menstrual cycle.
  • 3. Endometriosis  Factors that increase the risk of having endometriosis are not well understood. Women who began having periods early in life are at risk, as are those experiencing menstruation longer than 7 days or menstrual cycles shorter than 27 days. In addition, having menopause later than usual and the presence of higher-than-usual levels of estrogen could be related. Such conditions as an abnormal uterus or blockages of the usual menstrual discharge also may raise the chances. The condition may have a genetic link, thus presence of endometriosis in sisters, mothers, or aunts could increase risk. Researchers also have identified a low body mass index as a possible risk factor.
