It is difficult to define a particular cause of endometriosis. There are several reasons which can lead to the disease. However, the most common cause is considered as retrograde menstruation. Menstrual blood consisting of endometrial cells flows back into the pelvic cavity instead of going out of the body. It then sticks to the pelvic walls and makes the blood thick and bleed occasionally during the menstrual cycle.
