Endometriose
Endometriosis could be considered a physiological process given that retrograde menstruation is detected in over 90% of menstruating women.

This paper/chapter describes endometriosis in the context of retrograde menstruation, noting that in more than 90% of reproductive-age women retrograde menstrual flow can be detected and thus endometriosis might be framed as a physiologic process by this definition. It does not present a new experimental study or report specific study methods or results beyond this conceptual statement. The main limitation is that the excerpt provides only a brief definitional/interpretive overview rather than empirical evidence or a detailed analysis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on how endometriosis could be conceptualized relative to the high prevalence of retrograde menstruation.
