You may need a pair of pliers to untwist the top of the wire.

Doctors haven't yet determined exactly what causes endometriosis. However, they do know that it is more likely you'll suffer from it if someone else in your family has been diagnosed with the condition. You are significantly more likely to develop endometriosis if a first-degree biological relative has the condition. First-degree relatives include parents, siblings, and children. If you are under the age of 30 and giving birth for the first time, your risk of developing endometriosis after pregnancy may be increased. Monitor your periods closely in the months immediately after giving birth. At the same time, if you've never given birth, you may also be at higher risk for developing endometriosis. You measure your cycle by counting the number of days between periods. If your menstrual cycle is fewer than 27 days, you may be at greater risk of developing endometriosis. Likewise, you are also at higher risk of developing endometriosis if your periods last longer than 7 days. Obesity can put you at an increased risk of developing endometriosis. Losing weight may not eliminate the condition, but it may ease your symptoms. Getting regular exercise and eating well also may ease the symptoms of endometriosis. If you're thinking about starting a new diet or exercise regimen, talk to your primary care physician or gynecologist. They can help you determine what exercises would be appropriate for you and can give you ideas for specific foods to eat that may lessen your endometriosis symptoms.
