Identified risk factors for endometriosis include: early onset of menstruation (early menarche), frequent menstrual cycles shorter than 21 days, never having given birth (nulliparity), and excessive menstrual bleeding. Infertility, structural abnormalities in female reproductive organs, and genetic predisposition are also significant risk factors. Furthermore, lifestyle factors such as caffeine and alcohol consumption, and a low body mass index, as well as certain demographic characteristics like tall stature, red hair, blue-green eye color, and freckles, are associated.
