Women sometimes face conditions like Endometriosis in which small tissues identical to the uterus lining grow within the uterus. In response to the monthly hormone cycles, these tissues build up and get removed.

The growth of the Endometriosis is very slow and the doctors range it from minimal severity to high severity. The causes of endometriosis are dependent on the number and size of the endometrial implants, its appearance and location and extent of the scar tissues.

Medically, the doctors are unable to find the exact causes of endometriosis. However, there are some theories, which involve Endometriosis causes and its symptoms.

The Implantation theory states that the U-turn in the menstrual flow forces the surplus kind of endometrial cells into the cavity of the body. In that cavity, these cells close with internal organs and start endometrial implants. As evidence to this statement, it is seen that 70 to 90 percent women undergo or experience a reversed menstrual flow and this becomes a common phenomenon in women who are suffering from Endometriosis.

Secondly, the Vascular-lymphatic theory states that blood vessels or vascular system and the lymph system mainly distributes the endiometrial cells to the uterus region. According to the Induction theory, it assumes that a mysterious substance that is found in body, forces cells from the body cavity lining to change into endometrial cells.

Though causes of endometriosis should not be self-treated, many women seek relief from symptoms through alternative therapies. It is surveyed that 40-60 percent women who took alternative medicines get relief from pain and other symptoms.

To get relief from causes of endometriosis, a high-fiber diet containing beans, grains may help lessen inflammation and cramping. Various types of seed oil, fish like salmon, cod, mackerel and sardines may prevent cramping. In addition, lemons, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, carrots, beets, cabbage, onions, garlic, citrus fruits, chicory and radicchio may help to lessen the causes of the Endometriosis.
