Symptom Profiles and Anatomical Distribution of Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis
The most common symptoms observed in this study are also seen in many gastrointestinal disorders, highlighting the importance of considering DIE as a potential diagnosis in patients with bowel symptoms. Future research should focus on prospective multicenter studies to validate imaging protocols for DIE and to better differentiate related gynecological and gastrointestinal symptomology.
