Endometriosis occurs when cells in the lining of the womb are out of the womb, these cells react in the same way as those in the womb; building up, breaking down and bleeding monthly. Symptoms include: Pain, Heavy periods and Fatigue. The cause is unknown but may be genetic, related to problems with the immune system or exposure to chemicals.

The researchers, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Washington, analysed 81,908 pre-menopausal women across the US between 1991 and 2013. Every four years, the women completed a dietary questionnaire. The researchers also monitored any surgically-confirmed endometriosis cases among the women. Results suggest high red-meat consumption may results in endometriosis that causes pain rather than affects fertility.

Poultry, fish and seafood has no effect on a woman’s endometriosis risk, breastfeeding reduces the risk of endometriosis by up to 40%. Naturally feeding for a total of three or more years across a women’s life reduces her risk of developing the painful disorder. For every three additional months a woman breastfeeds per pregnancy, her risk of getting endometriosis is lowered by eight per cent, while exclusively feeding naturally decreases the chance of a diagnosis by 14 percent.
