ENDOMETRIOSIS is a condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue (lining of womb) at sites other than the inner lining of the uterus. Frequent sites of ectopic endometrial cells are on the ovaries, outer layer of the uterus, abdominal wall, and urinary bladder. Although it is not certain how endometrial cells become established outside the uterus, it is speculated that some discharged endometrial tissue might be flushed backwards from the uterus and through the uterine tubes during menstruation.

Being upside down during your period may be a possible cause.

Note: If the Cervix is higher than the uterus body ie upside down, or sitting on knees bent under front of body with head on the ground sitting incorrectly during bleeding may obstruct the flow of blood. - Yoga teaches sitting positions which enhance the free flow of blood
