You know, I really do not know. It could be the pressure that it places when inside the vagina. As I said, I never had a problem, so it was not something I researched.

I don't know if you are aware, but Yahoo has a lot of great groups. One of which is for Endometriosis called ERC. If you go to http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/erc/ click on the "join this group" button. You will also receive a very brief questionaire asking about your experience with Endo, and then you are normally approved within 24 hours. There is a wealth of knowledge on the ERC Group. They have over 3500 members!

I do hope this helps you.
