Poll: How many of you have had (childhood) trauma?
I am really curious about the correlation between trauma and endometriosis/chronic illness. I myself experienced childhood trauma (in my teens). Please feel free to share your opinion!
Hi
. There are lots of studies that show stress can lower your immunity and open the door for all kinds of health conditions. So it is possible childhood trauma played a role in triggering your endometriosis. It is hard to say though since we don't really know what causes endometriosis. Here is an article that reviews some of the prevailing theories: https://endometriosis.net/cause. I hope this helps and that others chime in with their own opinons. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
