Causes of Endometriosis<\/strong><\/p>\n -The endometrium is the inner layer of uterine tissue that is shed during menstruation. -Endometriosis occurs when growth of this endometrial tissue develops outside the uterus. This growth usually occurs within the pelvic region on the ovaries and other pelvic structures, such as the bladder and colon, but it also may occur within the abdominal cavity and as far away as the lungs, arms, legs, and even the brain.<\/p>\n -Hormone levels affect the course of endometriosis. It is not commun for women to develop endometriosis before menstrual cycles begin or after menopause.<\/p>\n -Endometriosis tend to be less severe when hormone levels are more constant like pregnancy or other times when there is lack of a menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n **Don\u2019t worry, endometriosis cases have a solution, schedule an assessment with our health tourism service, we will be ready to help you.<\/p>\n E medicine health<\/p>\n Medical Author:\u00a0Melissa Conrad St\u00f6ppler, MD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biology-of-human-reproduction"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":585,"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580\/revisions\/585"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"La](\"https:\/\/irega.com.mx\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-26.png\")
