Pesticides Linked to Endometriosis

A new study links two pesticides to an increased risk of endometriosis.

Researchers say the chemicals showed up in blood samples from patients even though the pesticides have been banned for decades.

Women with higher exposure had a 30 to 70 percent increased risk of endometriosis, which occurs when the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside the womb.
