The Immune System & Endometriosis: “The results revealed abnormalities in menstrual effluent (ME) collected from women with endometriosis on day one of menstruation, indicating the aberrations were there from the moment the retrograde flow entered the peritoneal cavity. Endometriosis samples had higher proportions of neutrophils that promote blood vessel growth, and of older neutrophils. Normally, neutrophils die within hours; those that persist encourage inflammation, a state thought to be conducive to lesion survival.”
