Endometriosis may not always show symptoms. Some of the common symptoms of endometriosis are pain during periods, painful intercourse and pelvic pain. Pain during urinating, infertility, irregular or heavy bleeding during periods, pain in lower back, fatigue and swelling in abdomen are some other symptoms of endometriosis. 


No cause for endometriosis has been confirmed till now
So far no cause has been confirmed for endometriosis. However there are different accepted theories put forward by scientists. According to retrograde menstruation theory, also known as transtubal migration theory, menstrual blood containing endometrial cells flows back through the fallopian tube and implants the endometrial cells in the abdomen.

According to one theory predisposition towards endometriosis may be carried in the genes of some people.
