Can Endometriosis be passed on to the next generation? Counting its seven reasons in detail

Endometriosis is a kind of gynecological disease that we are familiar with. It has many pathogenic factors. Heredity is also a situation that many patients are particularly worried about. We need to have a general understanding.

Can Endometriosis be inherited

As far as Endometriosis is concerned, genetic factors account for more than half of the pathogenesis. If this person has a family history, there is one person in the above generation who has Endometriosis, such as her aunt, her mother, her aunt. As long as one person has Endometriosis, her risk of getting this disease is 30 times higher than that of people without this situation.

In addition, Endometriosis has very interesting characteristics. For identical twins, whether they are sisters or sisters, one person has Endometriosis, and another person has the opportunity to get Endometriosis. The genetic phenomenon between siblings of the same generation is very obvious. In the same generation of families, if one sisters gets it, others have about 40% of the opportunity.

Causes of Endometriosis

1. Cultivation theory: The causes of Endometriosis are very complex, and some scholars believe that the causes are related to the cultivation of endometrial fragments in pelvic organs. Endometrial fragments flow downstream through the vagina during menstruation in women, enter the abdominal cavity through the fallopian tubes, implant into the surface of organs, form lesions, and induce diseases.

2. Chemical endometrium: Chemical endometrium is an important cause of Endometriosis. The endometrium appears during embryonic development, with epithelial metaplasia in the body cavity. The causes of metaplasia are gonadal hormones and inflammatory stimulation. The epithelium on the surface of the ovary and the umbilicus can also metastasize from the body cavity epithelium.

3. Benign metastasis: Benign metastasis is a rare cause of disease, often occurring in the pericardium and lungs. A certain patient's site of onset is the meninges and limbs, and the cause of the disease is the transfer of debris from the endometrium to the organs, with the transfer pathway being blood.

4. Iatrogenic endometrium transplantation: Endometriosis mostly occurs during caesarean section. After induced abortion, endometrium transfers to the corresponding location, or it can occur after early and mid-term pregnancy curettage.

5. Deficiency in immune defense function: Deficiency in immune function in the body is an important cause of disease induction, often caused by estrogen promoting endometrial growth or pregnancy hormone inhibiting endometrial growth. After the onset of the disease, the patient has ovarian endocrine disorders.
