Abstract

Despite extensive investigations, the causes of endometriosis and mechanisms of its development are largely unknown. Here we review the existing theories, analyzing the risk factors and triggers of endometriosis. We suggest that all cases of endometriosis are initiated through a common pathophysiological mechanism which involves all downstream molecular pathways.
