Another molecular abnormality Bulun found is that women with endometriosis have a progesterone receptor that is inappropriately turned off.

In the absence of appropriate progesterone action, endometriosis tissue remains inflamed and continues to grow.

"This may be a disease that women are born with. Perhaps when a baby girl is born, it has already been determined that she is predisposed to have endometriosis," Bulun said.

"Maybe research can now be directed toward the fetal origins of the disease and raise the awareness of how the disease develops," he added.
