Endometriosis(EMs)refers to the presence of endometrial tissue(glands and stroma)with growth function in other parts outside the uterine cavity.It is a common chronic gynecological disease among women.EMs that occurs in adolescence(WHO defines adolescence as the range of 10 to 19 years old)is called adolescent EMs,and it is also reported as early-onset endometriosis.Compared with the disease in women of childbearing age,the prevalence of adolescent EMs is unknown,the delayed diagnosis and treatment would seriously affect long-term fertility.The pathogenesis of adolescent EMs is unknown,and there is no early non-invasive diagnostic method or effective preventive method at present.This article summarizes the latest literature on high-risk factors of adolescent EMs in order to provide evidences to identify adolescent EMs early and to help control or even reverse the progression of the disease by reducing the exposure of high-risk factors,resulting in protecting the long-term fertility.
