...that endometriosis develops because menstrual fluid backs up and travels to the ovaries, Fallopian tubes and outer surface of the womb, where it takes root. Having sex--more specifically, having an orgasm--causes the uterus to contract, pushing out the fluid. And tampons? They seem to act like a wick, drawing fluid out. The findings may not be definitive enough to change your personal habits, but they're worth considering...
