A recent report from University Hospital Brugmann in Bruxelles, Belgium provides new insights into urinary tract endometriosis (UTE), a rare form of endometriosis that affects only 1-6% of patients. UTE mainly involves the bladder and ureters, and it is often underdiagnosed. Symptoms can include lower urinary tract symptoms when the bladder is involved, while ureteral endometriosis is usually asymptomatic. Diagnosis can be confirmed through various imaging techniques and histopathology, and treatment options include medical hormonal treatments or surgical intervention. The researchers emphasize the importance of awareness among specialists due to the serious health implications for women. [Extracted from the article] |
