common theory is that this condition is the consequence of «retrograde
menstruation», when some of the menstrual blood seeps backwards into the fallopian tubes and travels up the abdominal cavity
during the monthly menses.

common symptom is extreme pain
during or around a person's time of
menstruation, and for some, «this pain may be disabling and may happen
during or after sex, or
during bowel movements or urination.»
