Scimex: Researchers are a step closer to understanding the risk factors
associated with endometriosis thanks to a new University of Adelaide
study. Dr McGuane says they discovered, for the first time, an
association between contact with seminal fluid and the development of
endometriosis. "In laboratory studies, our research found that
seminal fluid (a major component of semen) enhances the survival and
growth of endometriosis lesions," says Dr McGuane, co-lead author on the
paper.
