This paper discusses how the condition of regurgitated endometrial tissue is critical for endometriosis development, noting the existence of submicroscopic lesions missed by diagnostic laparoscopy.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
