I had not heard of a genetic / inherited component of endometriosis. But did quick google search showed studies are being done to see if genetic.
I developed endometriosis in my teens but my 3 sisters never had a problem.
I would just watch for symptoms; excessive menstrual cramps, abnormal or heavy menstrual flow. If she shows any symptoms, check with her provider or have her see a gynecologist.

A gynecologist has very little training in Endometriosis treatment, and it's it's important to find an excision specialist in your area or beyond. Endofound.com can give you up to date information.

There's a lot of research going on in Australia now, since 1 in 9 women have it. Some say 1 in 7. Helps to have female leaders too! The recently retired premier of this state has it, and was unable to have children.
