- Retrograde menstruation or Reverse menstruation (menstrual blood flows back during periods).
- Transformation (Other cells in the body may become endometrial cells and start growing outside the endometrium).
- Surgical scar complication (Endometrial cells may attach to scar tissue from a cut made during surgery to the stomach area, such as a C-section).
- Genetics
