What theory is used to describe the cause of endometriosis?
◦ Obstruction within the fallopian tubes prevents the endometrial tissue from adhering to the lining of the uterus.
◦ Endometrial tissue passes through the fallopian tubes and into the peritoneal cavity and remains responsive to hormones.
◦ Inflammation of the endometrial tissue develops after recurrent sexually transmitted diseases.
◦ Endometrial tissue lies dormant in the uterus until the ovaries produce sufficient hormone to stimulate its growth.
