Where Does Endometriosis Come From?

Carolyn and Mark (Dr. Noar) discuss the genetic and biological factors that cause endometriosis, including the role of a patient’s uterus anatomy and reproductive hormones like progesterone. Other factors covered include the role of inflammatory responses in symptom severity and the composition of a patient’s uterine microbiome. At the end of the episode (c. 26:30), Carolyn talks about the importance of open communication between parents and daughters on the topic of menstrual pain and reproductive health.Additional resources:Gastrointestinal Myoelectrical Activity (GIMA) Biomarker for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Endometriosis, Journal of Clinical Medicine
