How could diet affect endometriosis?

    Last Updated: October 25, 2023

    Multiple studies have investigated the relationship between diet and endometriosis. There is weak evidence that a healthy diet, with reduced alcohol intake and increased physical activity, is associated with a lower risk of getting endometriosis.[1] A diet high in fruit, particularly citrus fruit, might lower the risk for endometriosis.[2]
