New research has found that being tall and slim as a child could be linked to an increased risk of endometriosis.
New European research has found that girls who are tall and have a low body mass index may have a higher risk of endometriosis.
Endometriosis occurs when the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, grows in other locations, such as the fallopian tubes, ovaries or along the pelvis.While the lining of the womb and its cells build up, break down and then leave the body as a period, endometrial cells that build up and break down in other locations have no way to leave the body, and when the blood touches other organs, it can cause severe pain. As well as reducing quality of life, the disease can also cause infertility.
For example, a seven-year old girl who was around 2.3kg lighter than another girl of the same age had around an 8% higher risk of endometriosis, and a seven-year old girl who was around 5.2cm taller had a 9% increased risk.
